Twinkle married me because Mela did not work: Akshay Kumar

Talking candidly about his wife Twinkle, Akshay Kumar said on Koffee with Karan, "She was very confident about Mela and said that if the film didn’t work, she would get married. Fortunately for me, Mela flopped."

Mela (2000) might have been a flop at the box office.

Karan and Akshay

discussed Twinkle’s absence on the show as well. Karan revealed that the former actor can’t keep her "mouth shut and will talk nonsense and regret it later".

Akshay agreed to this comment, saying, "I tell her be diplomatic, but she is like, 'What is white is white, what is black is black'. There’s no filter in her mind. What she’s thinking just comes out."

Akshay further added that another person with a similar persona is Anil Kapoor. "I still remember, I went to dub for Welcome (2007). When he saw me, he said ‘Akshay, I saw the film. You are nothing in front of me, man'," the actor recounted.
