Akshay Kumar's heartfelt gesture left Twinkle Khanna deeply moved
In the early days of Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna's romance, Frank Sinatra's timeless hit, Strangers in the Night, played a pivotal role in enhancing the charm of their courtship.
Sinatra's melodic masterpiece held a special place in Twinkle's heart, leading the OMG 2 actor and her to immerse themselves in the song's enchanting melody during their dating phase, especially when they found themselves on an outdoor film shoot together. Naturally, the song became a cherished emblem of their relationship.
Fast forward to their appearance on Karan Johar's talk show, Koffee with Karan, Season 5. The Selfiee actor, with meticulous preparation over a month, decided to make the moment truly special for Twinkle by serenading her with the same cherished song.
When the awaited day arrived, the magic unfolded. Akshay's heartfelt rendition of the song caught Twinkle by surprise, leaving her visibly moved—smiling with tears of joy in her eyes. The couple, basking in the ambiance of romance, even shared a slow dance, creating a timeless moment of pure emotion and love.

Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna's love story
Their first encounter took place during a magazine shoot in Mumbai, where the Bade Miyan Chote Miyan actor found himself instantly smitten with the Barsaat actress. However, it was on the set of their film International Khiladi that their love story truly blossomed.
In the year 2000, the release of Mela, starring Twinkle and Aamir Khan, marked a turning point in Bollywood's Khiladi life, even though the film itself did not fare well at the box office.
Akshay, on Koffee with Karan, shared that Twinkle exhibited great confidence in the success of Mela and assured him that, in the event of the movie's failure, she would marry him. Fate played its part; the film did not perform as expected, and in 2001, the lovebirds tied the knot. The couple is now blessed with two children, Aarav and Nitara.
Pinkvilla extends heartfelt wishes to this beautiful couple on their anniversary!
