Twinkle Khanna surprised mehndi artist Veena Nagda by calling her just a day before her secret wedding with Akshay Kumar.
Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar married on January 17, 2001.
It’s been over two decades since Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar got married, but the story of their intimate and unexpected wedding still brings smiles. The ceremony, which hosted only around 50 guests, was so secretive that even the mehndi artist didn’t know who the bride was until she arrived.
Veena Nagda, the well-known mehndi artist who applied Twinkle’s bridal mehndi, recently recalled the unusual and memorable experience in a chat with YouTube channel Meri Saheli. The most surprising part? It was Twinkle herself who called her, and that too, just a day in advance!
“I will never forget Twinkle Khanna because she was the one who called me for her mehndi. She called me and said, ‘You have to come tomorrow for the mehndi for the bride and 10 other people’. She called me just one day prior. I didn’t know it was Twinkle who was calling me,” she said.
Veena shared that she had no clue where she was heading at first. She was given a random address, and only after reaching there was she picked up and taken to the actual location—Twinkle’s house.
“We went but we didn’t know the exact destination. We were given someone else’s address. We reached there and from there, a car came to pick us up and that’s when we got to her house,” she said and added that when she rang the door bell, Dimple Kapadia welcomed her into the house.
Still unaware of the bride’s identity, Veena assumed it was a wedding for someone in Twinkle’s circle. That’s when Twinkle walked in, casually dressed, and dropped the big reveal.
“When I got to her house, Dimple Kapadia opened the door. She asked me if I was surprised, I still didn’t get it. Twinkle came and she started checking out the designs so I thought it must be her friend’s wedding. She was sitting in shorts. That’s when she declared that it’s my wedding and I want to get bridal mehndi. I was so suprised. She also told me that the wedding is happening the same day. The mehndi was in the morning. I wondered how will the mehndi get enough time to darken?” she recalled.
Despite the last-minute call and tight timing, Veena managed to complete the mehndi just in time before the wedding ceremony. “By 5-6 pm, she removed the mehndi. But by the next day, the mehndi was dark and she called me and said, ‘Veena ji, it’s so dark now,’” she recalled.
Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar are proud parents to two children—a son named Aarav and a daughter named Nitara. Aarav, born in 2002, prefers to stay away from the limelight, while Nitara, born in 2012, occasionally appears in Twinkle’s social media posts.
