Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar, who celebrate their 18th wedding anniversary on January 17, met their close friends Bobby Deol, his wife Tanya Deol, Anu Dewan and her husband Sunny Deol for a quiet dinner to ring in the special day. The gang often meet up on special occasions such as birthdays and anniversarys and dine out together. Last time, it was Twinkle's birthday when they decided to catch up.

Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna, who have together worked on films like 'Zulmi' and 'International Khiladi', tied the knot in 2001. They welcomed their first child, son Aarav, in 2002, and in 2012, they had a daughter named Nitara.

Talking about their 18-years-strong relationship, Twinkle Khanna, recently told mid-day, "I'd say our social, political ideologies, sense of humour, are very different. What's interesting is that after the first few years, we gave up trying to change each other. What we did instead was start to learn from each other. Luckily all his strengths are my weaknesses, and vice versa. What would I learn if we were more like each other anyway? I really believe two peas in a pod died of inertia. And we are not like that. So we continue to grow. Marriages essentially fail, when you try to clone the other person to become like you, it's not possible. We're two different brains. Mine is a washing machine, whirling, chaotic. His thoughts are neatly folded in the closet of his mind. I need his stability to hem me in. He needs me to push him out of his comfort zone."
