Akshay Kumar calls wife Twinkle a 'warrior'

The couple tied the knot in 2001

Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has termed his wife Twinkle Khanna the 'yodha' (warrior) of his home.

"I don't feel shy terming my wife a yodha at all," the actor said at a launch event for Tata Motors' latest offering Xenon YODHA on Tuesday.

"Yodha does not necessarily mean one who is holding a gun. Yodha is a person who holds his own family. A soldier who fights a war, isn't only a yodha. It is all about holding your family and close ones. Everybody is a yodha in life," he added.



"It is a great responsibility when a person calls himself a fighter. He must be a person who one can trust and rely on, no matter whatever happens. That is a big responsibility," Akshay said.

The superstar is looking forward to a happening new year with Jolly LLB 2, Toilet - Ek Prem Katha, 2.o and Pad Man. He will also feature in a film co-produced by Salman Khan and Karan Johar.



"Being an actor, signing a film for another big actor is something new for this industry because it only happens in Hollywood, where an actor signs another for his production. I hope this trend starts in Bollywood too," the 49-year-old actor remarked while speaking about the project.
