Twinkle Khanna says she argued with Akshay Kumar for ‘fighting with Vicky Kaushal' over Operation Sindoor film
Days after Uttam Maheshwari announced and then apologised for making a film on Operation Sindoor, author Twinkle Khanna spoke about why she talked to her husband-actor Akshay Kumar about it. In her column for Times of India, Twinkle said that she came across a bunch of tweets which said that Akshay was "fighting with" actor Vicky Kaushal over making a film on Operation Sindoor.

Twinkle Khanna added that when she confronted Akshay, he clarified that it was fake news. "I can test paneer with an iodine solution — but what is the litmus test for the truth? 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.' He really should devise better excuses if he just wants to hang up."
Later, when Akshay returned home "with a bandage on his calf", Twinkle realised he was speaking the truth about getting hurt. "Apparently, his leg was truly on fire for a scene. Nowadays, it is so difficult to figure out what is true that I look at every piece of information suspiciously," she wrote.
A few weeks ago, amid rising tensions between India and Pakistan, Nicky Vicky Bhagnani Films and The Content Engineer officially announced a film titled Operation Sindoor. In the poster of Operation Sindoor, a female soldier, dressed in uniform, stood with her back to the camera. While she held a rifle in one hand, she applied sindoor (vermilion) on her forehead with her other hand. Fire tanks, blasts and fighter jets were also seen in the poster.
Later, Uttam apologised with a post on Instagram saying that by announcing the film, he didn't want to "hurt or provoke anyone's sentiments". Uttam said that he wants to direct the film "not for fame and monetisation" but because he was moved by "the courage, sacrifice, and strength of our soldiers and leadership".
The film is based on India's operation against terror bases in Pakistan on May 6 and 7, neutralising several terrorists. It was a response to the ghastly Pahalgam terrorist attack in April.

Watch: American workers gets a tasty surprise from Indian homeowner
Credit: Instagram/@sealcoatinguys When people migrate to new places, they don't just carry suitcases—they carry their culture, habits, and food with them. These everyday pieces of home quietly blend into new surroundings, creating moments of connection that transcend borders. A recent video from Minnesota is a perfect example—where an Indian woman's warm gesture of offering vada and chutney brought smiles to an unsuspecting group of American workers. The surprise came for a team of American construction workers from The Sealcoating Guys , an asphalt company, while they were busy working outside a home. Out walked the homeowner, an Indian woman dressed simply in her nightwear with a dupatta casually thrown over her shoulders—carrying two plates piled with freshly made vada and coconut chutney. View this post on Instagram A post shared by ColorsTV (@colorstv) The crew's reaction was pure joy. 'Thank you so much,' they said, smiling widely as she handed them the plates. One curious worker asked what the dish was. 'Vada,' she replied, pausing before adding with a smile, 'Like a donut—but not sweet. Spicy only.' The men dove in, savoring every bite. 'Fire,' one of them exclaimed in appreciation, clearly enjoying the crispy, spicy treat. The video, shared by the company on Instagram, quickly went viral—not just because of the food, but because of the gesture. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The video has about 13.6 million views and thousands of comments.

They explained, 'That's Vada with spicy coconut chutney. It's one of the famous everyday evening snack here in my state, Tamil Nadu. There are some varieties of vada, but the one you had is the famous one called Ulunthu vada, crispy outside, soft inside,' another person explained.'
