Akshay Kumar Says He Never Imagined Marrying Rajesh Khanna’s Daughter

MUMBAI- Akshay Kumar revisited his childhood, recalling how he once saw late superstar Rajesh Khanna as a child, adding that little did he know he would become the superstar’s son-in-law in the years to come.

In a recent episode of ‘Wheel of Fortune, ‘ Akshay, who is currently hosting the show, shared an inspiring perspective on life, destiny, and self-belief.

He said, “I still remember it clearly—when I was a child, my father and mother would carry me on their shoulders to wander around Carter Road and Bandstand. I’m telling you the absolute truth. Back then, my future father-in-law’s car would pass by, though at that time he wasn’t my father-in-law yet; he was the legendary Rajesh Khanna.” He continued by noting how surreal the situation felt in hindsight. “We used to just watch him from a distance. Nobody could have ever imagined that I would one day marry his daughter,” he remarked, emphasizing that it was a future he never could have envisioned as a boy.”

He shared his story when contestant Stuti candidly spoke about feeling that certain people are “out of her league.”

In a lighthearted moment, she went on to reveal that Shah Rukh Khan had always been her crush and joked that when he married Gauri Khan, it broke her heart.

She later added with a laugh, “Then I thought, okay, if not Shah Rukh Khan, then maybe Aryan Khan. But then it hit me again—even Aryan Khan is way out of my league.”

Akshay said, one never knows she could even end up marrying the son of Donald Trump, highlighting how unpredictable life can be. He is married to Twinkle Khanna, daughter of Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadai.(IANS)
