Ahead of the release of Akshay Kumar's upcoming film Bell Bottom, makers of the film unveiled a BTS video featuring Akshay performing some stunts in the jungle. The video also features some clips of Akshay, in which he can be seen talking about how he tried to impress his wife, actress-author Twinkle Khanna, with his stunts as she happened to be visiting the film's sets during the shooting of the sequences. In the video that both Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna shared on Instagram, the 53-year-old actor said: "My wife happened to be visiting on the set when we shot this sequence in the jungle. So, I had to pull up all my tricks out of the bag because even after 20 years, I still can't help but want to impress her." He went on to share that while shooting the sequences, he always tried to beat "other boys" to impress Twinkle. "I had to do the most chin ups because there were other boys also but I had to do more than that. So that she always be impressed with me. Luckily my wife notices everything so it's never in vain," he said.
Twinkle Khanna responded to what Akshay Kumar had to say in the video. She shared the video on her Instagram profile. In the caption of the post, Twinkle shared that while Akshay performed all the stunts to impress her, she gets "terrified when he leaps off buildings and planes." Twinkle Khanna wrote: "Haha! On the contrary, I am terrified when he leaps off buildings and planes." She went on to share that the fact that Akshay Kumar is "still in one piece" impresses her more than "all his stunts." Twinkle wrote: "The fact that he is still in one piece impresses me more than all his stunts. Stay safe Mr K #Bellbottom."
