He praised her intellectual prowess, attributing their daughter Nitara's intelligence to Twinkle. "Main to anpadh aadmi hu, zyada padha nahi hu. Main gadha mazdoori karta hu, wo dimag wali hai. (I am an illiterate man, I have not studied much. I do manual labour, whereas she is the one with the brain)," Akshay candidly shared.

Twinkle Khanna: A Lifelong Learner
One of the most striking aspects of Twinkle Khanna's personality is her relentless pursuit of knowledge. Even at the age of 50, she continues to challenge herself academically. “I go to work and she has taken such good care of my children (son Aarav and daughter Nitara). I am surprised about how my wife looks at life even today. She is 50 now and still goes to study. She has finished her master's and is now doing her PhD,” Akshay mentioned. This dedication to continuous learning not only sets a powerful example for their children but also underscores Twinkle's multifaceted personality.
