Relationship Lessons Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar Can Give Us

They are a beautiful couple, no doubt about that. But there are several other reasons why Indians love and admire Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar. In an industry known for transient, short-lived relationships, Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar's relationship is one that has endured and remained solid for many years… this is a couple that can give us a few relationship lessons indeed:

Twinkle is a star kid, Akshay isn’t

The differences in their backgrounds never made a difference to the relationship in any significant way. 

They have been married over 15 years

According to the interviews that the couple has given over the years, apparently, they fight but they also make up quickly as well. Sorting things out, and not letting things fester or egos get in the way, is perhaps a relationship lesson all of us would do well to imbibe.

He isn’t the only star in the relationship

She may have given up acting after a few films but then became a successful interior designer and went on to become a popular columnist and India’s highest selling female author with her first book in 2015.

He is proud of her

She has two successful books under her belt already, Mrs FunnyBones and The Legend Of Lakshmi Prasad. And apparently, Mr Kumar is proud of his wife's writing talent. 

She never let her own identity be subsumed

She retained her name and her identity in spite of being married to one of Bollywood’s most popular and powerful leading men.

The couple that laughs together stays together

Clearly, they have fun together. Clearly, he doesn’t mind being photographed pressing his wife's feet (which most Indian men would not be caught dead doing for their wives).  So here is a couple that has fun together, and here is a man who is secure enough to be seen doing this.

He appreciates her

He credits her with much of his current success and often speaks about how much his wife means to him.

She appreciates him

If he still adores her, then she definitely reciprocates with visible acceptance.
