Akshay Kumar: Twinkle is not a trophy wife

There is no doubt about the fact that Twinkle Khanna is an extremely strong woman. She has a mind of her own and confidently voices her choices and opinions. Actor, interior designer, author, she has now donned the hat of a producer and has launched her own production banner - Mrs Funnybones Movies.

Proud of her achievements, Akshay Kumar recently said, “Times are changing and for the better! If there is one thing I can promise, it's that my wife will bring a whole new light to the meaning of progressive opinions, regression, culture and the future with her own magical `Funny Bone'. Proud doesn't come close to how I feel about her passion for change, I'm more than behind her, I'm in awe of her!"

Praising her for the many hats she has donned, Akshay said, "Twinkle has and always will be an independent woman. She is not a trophy wife and nor am I a trophy husband for her. Throughout our marriage, she has continued to keep her individuality and independence intact. Once she gave up acting, she steered towards interior designing. Now she is a successful author and Mrs Funnybones is her new identity. When she felt the need to make films she believes in, she decided to float her own production house. She is the most forward-thinking person I know. She has my support, encouragement as well as millions who follow her sentiments."

Akshay further added that he is very happy, and is looking forward to working under Twinkle’s banner. The actor confessed, "Happy? My wife better give me a salary, no one else is gonna buy her congratulatory diamonds for making her films She needs to pay me so that I can pamper her! In fact, I'm looking forward to working under her. I not only want to be a doting husband but also an ideal actor who fits in with her vision. That is my New Year resolution. She is going to give me a run for my money for sure."

They truly are the power couple of Bollywood.
