It’s not that I have to discuss every script with her before I give it my nod, but she talks to me and I remember [those] things. She told me once, ‘Koi zor zabardasti nahi hai, jo achha lage karo’."

Counted among the most admired couples of Bollywood, it seems Akshay and Twinkle seem to help each other even when it comes to making professional decisions. The two have been married for 18 years and are parents to two kids Aarav Kumar (16) and Nitara Kumar (six).
