What Saif said

During the conversation, Saif said that he once asked Mansoor about what he did during fights in his marriage, and he said, “He told me, 'I just think about playing cricket or something during the argument. And I don't say anything.' He said, ‘Listen.’ Looks like you're listening.”

Akshay agreed and said, "She [Twinkle] is fire. I am water. She says whatever she wants to. I just keep myself calm and quiet. Just listen and try to understand what she’s trying to say.” He added, “Do whatever you want, but listen. I think every husband should be a good listener.”
