Did you know, there was a time when Akshay Kumar forgot his then-girlfriend Twinkle Khanna's birthday and got her a paperweight as a birthday present at the last moment. That's right. When they were first dating, he forgot her birthday and he then gave a paperweight to Twinkle after realising at the last moment. With this, she then made sure Akshay bought her a huge diamond rock, to make up for getting her an unsatisfactory birthday present. Well, this was seen in the last season of Karan Johar's Koffee With Karan when Karan asked Khanna about her sparkling ring and earrings.
In reply, she first said that she did all this for her show and then recalled a memory when Akshay got her a paperweight as a birthday present. Recently, we came across a video of the two from KWK and in the clip, she is heard saying, “When we were first dating, on my birthday, he got me a crystal paperweight. A paperweight! I don’t know what he thought, that I would be very impressed with this paperweight,” she said.
In his defence, Akshay then chimed in, “Actually, I had forgotten her birthday. Let me honestly tell you. I had forgotten her birthday and then when I realised it was her birthday, there was no time to go and buy. Paperweight was there in my house so I quickly wrapped it (laughs).” Twinkle then added, “He gave me a paperweight, so I told him that day, ‘One day, I will make sure you buy me a diamond as big as this bloody paperweight!’ So I made sure.” Haha.
