Akshay Kumar says his ‘leg is on fire' as Twinkle Khanna asks him about ‘fighting with Vicky Kaushal over Operation Sindoor film'
Twinkle Khanna, who retired from acting in 2001, turned writer with her books Mrs Funnybones, The Legend of Lakshmi Prasad, and Pyjamas are Forgiving. Famously known for her wit and sharp takes on current events, Twinkle Khanna penned a write-up about how tensions escalated between India and Pakistan and fake news held a field day. The actor touched on everything from fake paneer and fake headlines in the piece — including coming across tweets that suggested that her husband, actor Akshay Kumar, and Vicky Kaushal were fighting over the rights to make a film on Operation Sindoor. The author wrote that she immediately dialled Akshay, wanting to get to the bottom of it. However, Akshay dismissed it as fake news and told her that his leg is on fire and they will talk later. Twinkle dismissed it as an excuse, in fact hoping that her husband can devise better excuses if he wants to get rid of her. However, on this account, she was proved wrong as Akshay actually walked in later with his a bandage on his calf. '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,' Twinkle wrote. In the days following India launching Operation Sindoor on terror camps across the border, a film on it was announced by Nicky Vicky Bhagnani Films and The Content Engineer. They received a backlash after the poster of the film, titled Operation Sindoor, was launched. In the poster, a woman soldier was seen with a rifle in one hand and sindoor (vermilion) in the other. She is surrounded by tanks and fighter jets. Later, the makers apologised if they hurt sentiments, claiming they were moved by 'the courage, sacrifice, and strength of our soldiers and leadership' to launch the film. In the column she wrote for Times of India, Twinkle also said that her mother Dimple Kapadia accused her of running her household poorly as the quantity of paneer made at her home is not up to the mark.

'In her house, one litre of milk yields 250 gm of paneer, and at mine, we get 180 gram.' According to Dimple Kapadia this is not a matter of bovine output but maternal failure. In the same column, Twinkle also took a dig at the decision of Indian Music Companies removing the pictures of Pakistani Artists from album covers. She said, 'I propose that we get all of Abida Parveen and Farida Khanum's songs redubbed by our very own Dhinchak Pooja.'

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.
