Actor-writer Twinkle Khanna, popularly known as Mrs. Funnybones after the title of her debut novel, recently revealed that she argued with her husband, Akshay Kumar, after reading fake news about him allegedly fighting with actor Vicky Kaushal over making a film on India's Operation Sindoor — a mission conducted in the early hours of May 7, targeting nine terror camps within Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
In her latest column for The Times of India titled 'Real paneer, fake news, and what the Mahatma never said,' Twinkle stated, "I come across a flurry of tweets and I call the man of the house and start arguing. 'I just read that you are fighting with Vicky Kaushal over who gets to make a movie on Operation Sindoor.' He sighs and says, ‘It's fake news and my leg is on fire, so I will call you later.'"
Twinkle assumed Akshay used 'leg is on fire' as an excuse to disconnect her phone call, only to later realise it was indeed the truth after he returned home with a bandage on his calf after his leg was on fire for a scene.
Further, she stated that Dhinchak Pooja should redub songs by Pakistani singers Abida Parveen and Farida Khanum, following their ban in India amid escalating tensions between the two countries. "That will really teach the Pakistanis a lesson," she added
Twinkle said, "After the recent re-release of Sanam Teri Kasam, I have been listening to the songs on repeat. While browsing Spotify, I realised actor Mawra Hocane had been edited out from the album cover. Further digging reveals that other Pakistani actors like Fawad Khan and Mahira Khan have been similarly erased from their online posters."
