Fan ignores Akshay for Twinkle

Actor Akshay Kumar says he got ignored by a fan, who wanted an autograph of his actor-turned-writer wife Twinkle Khanna for her debut book "Mrs Funnybones: She's Just Like You and a Lot Like Me". But he's proud of it!

The "Namastey London" actor took to Twitter, where he shared a photograph of himself and his wife sitting in a book store. In the image, Akshay is seen sitting on a sofa and his wife Twinkle is seen signing a copy of her bestseller for a fan.

"Ignored by a fan who wanted an autograph of @mrsfunnybones...happens when your wife is a bestselling author! #proud," Akshay tweeted on Monday.

Sharing the same image, Twinkle quipped: "Where the big star happily looks on at the little one that twinkles - sorry reposted - couldn't resist the poor pun :)"

Twinkle had launched her book on August 18 at an event here. The duo, who got married in 2001, are proud parents of two children -- Aarav and Nitara.

Akshay, meanwhile, will next be seen in "Singh is Bling", which also features Kay Kay Menon and Lara Dutta. The film is slated to release on October 2.
