Akshay Kumar Thanks Aamir Khan for His Marriage

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has revealed a delightful and viral anecdote about his marriage to Twinkle Khanna. In a recent interview, he publicly credited none other than Aamir Khan's 2000 film, Mela, for being the reason he and Twinkle finally tied the knot.

The charming revelation has taken social media by storm, offering a lighthearted glimpse into the lives of one of Bollywood's most enduring power couples. Akshay explained that during their courtship, he was eager to marry Twinkle. However, the actress, who was then focusing on her career, was hesitant. In a playful challenge, Twinkle gave him a condition: she would marry him if her upcoming film Mela, co-starring Aamir Khan, flopped at the box office.

"She said, 'If Mela doesn't work, I will marry you,'" Akshay recalled with a laugh. "She was so confident because it was an Aamir Khan film, and directed by Dharmesh Darshan. Everyone believed it would be a huge hit."

As fate would have it, Mela did not fare well at the box office, becoming a commercial failure. And as per the agreement, Twinkle honored her word, and the couple got married in a low-key, intimate ceremony with just 50 guests.

Akshay, with his characteristic wit, humorously apologized to Aamir Khan for the film's poor performance, while also expressing his gratitude. "Sorry Aamir Khan sahab, your film didn't work. But I got married because of you," he quipped, a line that has since been widely shared and celebrated online.

'Mowgli Girl' found in UP forest walks on fours, screeches to talk, was raised by monkeys

‘Girl Mowgli’ found in UP forest walks on fours, screeches to talk, was raised by monkeys She is possibly eight, prefers to walk on all fours, and screeches to express herself — much like the monkeys that raised her in Uttar Pradesh’s Katarniyaghat wildlife sanctuary until she was “rescued”. At the district hospital in Bahraich, where she is learning to be human, the child is lovingly called the “girl Mowgli” — after the much-adored, wolf-raised protagonist of Rudyard Kipling’s iconic children’s tale The Jungle Book. She was first spotted by villagers foraging in the forests of the sanctuary’s Motipur range in January. The child was naked with a mop of matted hair, tanned by exposure to the elements, and claw-like nails. She was with a troop of monkeys; and was at ease with her wild family. The locals informed police about the unusual sighting and a team brought her to civilization. But the rescue was not easy as the monkeys put up a stiff resistance. The girl was scared of huma...

The sudden demise of Devendra Ahuja, top banker of Centurion Bank, has heightened the rift in the Ahuja family, as son in law Bobby Deol performed the last rites at Chandanwadi crematorium, even as scion Vikram Ahuja was allegedly kept out of the cremation and wasn't allowed to perform the last rites. Allegedly, this was completely in accordance with Devendra Ahuja's will. Devendra Ahuja (or Dev Ahuja) and Son Vikram Reportedly, the 14 year old battle between father and son escalated after Vikram accused his 74 year old father who'd moved out of the family house to stay with his mistress, 20 years his junior, of being biased towards Bobby Deol and his spouse Tania.
