Akshay Kumar was known for his Casanova ways before he got married to Twinkle Khanna. Since then, he's been an adorable husband and a doting father to two children, Aarav and Nitara.
In an interview to Times Of India, Akki reveals how he got hooked and settled in life with Tina as she's fondly called, "See, honestly, nearly every man needs to reap the beauty and feminine qualities of as many women as he can respectfully before he gets married, so that when he decides to settle down and commit the rest of his life to the woman of his dreams, he can do so with a full heart and soul, without needing to look over his shoulder, for the years ahead are the ones that matter."
He further added, "They are the ones that he has truly been searching for. Because at the end of the day, a man is a man. We are basically animals in suits; if we are caged too early or remain too inexperienced, all we'll want to do is bite at our collar and bark at every passer-by. Let us howl at the moon for a while and eventually, all we'll want to do is create a home where it's safe and warm, full of love that one never thought existed. Unfortunately, the world perceives men as not wanting to settle down; that's not correct at all. We just need to let off some steam first, so that we can become the men our mothers and wives wish for us to be!"
The Khiladi Kumar also spoke about his love for two year old Nitara, "We were all secretly hoping to have a baby girl! Me for sure... I already have the best son a father could dream of; my little girl has completed our family circle and has given a new meaning to the word 'home life!' I am gladly wrapped around her finger, as every father should be. She has reminded me just how precious even the smallest things can be. I can't get enough of her."
So if Nitara is Akshay's apple of the eye, so is wifey Twinkle the boss at home. "I may be the boss at work, but I have no desire to be the boss at home. My wife and kids tell me what they want, where they want me to take them and what we should do the minute I get home. My wife definitely wears the pants in our marriage, which is a relief, because I can't control my work and my family that's just not me." said Akshay.
