Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna, a Bollywood power couple, are known for their playful banter and humorous exchanges. Recently, an amusing anecdote from their relationship resurfaced, revealing an instance where Akshay jokingly called Twinkle "maha pakau," which roughly translates to "extremely boring".

The incident came to light during Akshay's appearance on Twinkle's talk show, "Two Much With Kajol And Twinkle," alongside Saif Ali Khan. The episode was filled with laughter and provided a glimpse into the couple's witty dynamic. Twinkle shared that she had written a poem for Akshay, titled "Two peas in a pod died of inertia". Akshay's reaction was immediate and humorous, calling her "maha pakau," which sent Kajol and Saif into fits of laughter. This playful exchange perfectly illustrates their relationship, where Twinkle's introspective side is balanced by Akshay's straightforwardness and humor.

This isn't the only instance of their lighthearted teasing becoming public. In 2019, Twinkle posted a photo of Akshay on Instagram, complimenting his look in a black turtleneck sweater. She jokingly added that he might seem "exponentially smarter," but shouldn't ask her what "exponentially" means. In response, Akshay called her "Maha Pakau" for providing the definition.

Akshay and Twinkle often engage in playful debates about keeping things simple. Akshay believes things should be explained clearly, while Twinkle sometimes quotes Socrates, saying, "An unexamined life is not worth living; it's merely existing for cattle". Akshay countered this by saying, "Simplicity is the golden word today".

Akshay also shared a story from a trip to Scotland where he ordered a fancy item in French, expecting something exquisite, only to receive bread and butter. This anecdote highlighted the importance of simplicity in life, a theme he often discusses with Twinkle.

Akshay and Twinkle married on January 17, 2001, and have two children, Aarav and Nitara. Their strong bond has only grown stronger with age.
