Akshay Kumar opens up about bond and dinner time talks with Twinkle Khanna

While attending the India Today Conclave 2026, Kumar opened up about his bond with his wife, Twinkle Khanna. The star was asked about what they often talk about daily, to which the actor revealed that their conversations revolve around everyday life.

Admitting that they stopped discussing politics at the dinner table, the veteran actor added, “Current toh negative aur positive dono chahiye, tabhi toh batti jaleg’ (both negative and positive current are needed for a bulb to light up). But we stopped discussing politics around six years ago. We have a lot to talk about in life,” he said. He emphasised that the couple finds talking about their lives more important when they are at the dinner table, and that they have created a habit out of it. In another instance at the event, the star also opened up about how he does not have any problems with paparazzi clicking photos of him, along with his wife and children. Sharing that the photographers may get Rs 3500 to Rs 4000 for one photo that they click, then why should they have a problem with that? He further added, “It’s not a hazard. If they don’t take a photo, then it’s a problem. As an actor, if someone doesn’t recognise you, then it’s a problem.“
