Twinkle Khanna wants her children's weddings to be simple: 'Just elope'

Twinkle Khanna, who is now a writer, and wife of Akshay Kumar has recently discussed her children's weddings with her sister Rinke Khanna. 

In her column for Times of India, Twinkle mentioned their conversation about the lavish Ambani wedding and how it raised the standard for celebrations.

Reflecting on this, the 50-year-old actress humorously suggested that the easiest option for her kids might be to simply elope since her husband Akshay isn't one for late nights, and she can't match Nita Ambani's dance moves.

She wrote, "We both have daughters, and we wonder if after they are married, they will change, add on, or stick to their already hyphenated last names. How odd that these questions won’t even arise regarding our sons. The same way that we have always been worried about our girls and not as much about our sons. Keeping the room door open when the tuition sir comes over."

"Ensuring that the school bus has a female chaperone; making sure that as little girls, they were not alone with even men from the extended family; and, along with all this, trying to strike a delicate balance between teaching them to be on guard and yet not be frightened of the world."

"My sister interrupts my meandering thoughts. ‘You are talking about last names, but what about all the all the fuss we will have to do. The bar is now set very high after the Ambani events...I reply, ‘Well, I can’t dance like Nita Bhabhi. The last time I tried dancing to Tamma Tamma Loge during the pandemic, I think even God didn’t want to see my uncoordinated footwork because I immediately fell down and fractured my leg," she added.

"My husband can barely stay awake after 10 pm, and we both get anxious about hosting dinner parties for over 20 people.’ I pause for breath, ‘If my children really want me to be happy, then the best thing they can do is just elope."
