Among the renowned Bollywood stars, Akshay Kumar is the superstar who has made a name for himself in the industry. Akshay Kumar’s fame has grown over the years, and his admirers sometimes compare him to superstar Khans such as Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan, and Salman Khan. Fans and industry insiders frequently place him against the Khans, and as a flashback, we take you back to a Koffee With Karan season 5 episode where Twinkle Khanna and Akshay met, and Karan pitted Akshay against the Khans.
“What does Akshay have that the Khans of Bollywood don’t?” Karan put Twinkle Khanna on the spot during the rapid-fire round. When Mrs. Funnybones learned of this, she replied with a witty remark that both Akshay and Karan found embarrassing. Twinkle said, “Akshay is a couple of inches taller than the Khans.” Karan was sipping coffee while looking at Akshay’s crotch, and his BFF Twinkle pointed out that she was referring to his shoe size, not what Karan was thinking.
“Don’t gaze at his crotch,” she teased Karan. “I was referring to his feet. Your thoughts are always in other people’s crotches. It’s the size of his feet – 12.” The filmmaker felt embarrassed, and Akshay and Twinkle were in splits as a result. Twinkle even tweeted a humorous excerpt of the show that some fans had altered with effects a few days ago, and it got the internet giggling. Because of their banter, the episode of Koffee With Karan starring Akshay and Twinkle was a hit. Twinkle is Karan’s best friend, and he has shown his love for her on several occasions.
In the past, Karan has stated that Tina’s role in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was initially intended for Twinkle Khanna and that he was saddened when she declined to participate in the film. Twinkle expressed sorrow for not being a part of the film as it reached its 20th anniversary, stating that she regrets not being a part of it now that she sees the impact it has on people today. However, she stated that if she had been in the film, it might not have worked.
