Just as much as fans look forward to the release of films and watching their favourite actors on the big screen, their personal lives too, interests the netizens. The family they belong to, relationships, larger than life lifestyle and a lot of other things contribute to their stardom. If we go by the on-screen portrayal on a mother-in-law’s relationship with her daughter-in-law then she likes to keep her son in her control and for the son-in-law, his wife’s mother instigates her against her new family. Contrary to this, B-town relationships have proved how beautiful is the relationship of a mother-in-law with her son-in-law and daughter-in-law. A perfect example of this is of Dimple Kapadia and her damaad, Akshay Kumar. (Also Read: Esha Deol Gives Glimpses Of The Christmas Decoration In Takhtani House And Sets In The Festive Mood)
It was in 2001 when Twinkle Khanna, daughter of veteran actors, Dimple Kapadia and Rajesh Khanna, had tied the knot with her ‘six feet of chocolate ice cream’, the Khiladi of B-town, Akshay Kumar. The jodi of Mrs Funnybones and Mr Strongbones has been inspiring us since then and we admire the bond that Akshay shares with his mother-in-law, Dimple Kapadia. In 2017, during a Q&A session on Twitter, Akshay was asked, “Your best friend from Bollywood?”. To this, the doting son-in-law had replied, “My mother-in-law.”

Dimple’s proud son-in-law, Akshay Kumar tweeted, "Christopher Nolan pens a heartfelt note to Dimple Kapadia on the eve of their release. Had I been in her place, I wouldn't have been able to move in awe but having watched her working her magic in Tenet, I couldn't be more happy and proud of Ma."
In September, when Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar with their children, Aarav and Nitara were in Scotland, the actress-turned-author had managed to squeeze in some time to watch her mother, Dimple Kapadia’s film, Tenet in the theatre. Praising her mother for her ‘wonderful part’ in the film, Twinkle had written, “Finally saw Tenet in the theatre and though my mother is so laid-back that she refuses to do any publicity around it, she has a wonderful part and is completely incredible. Variety writes, "A sinister whisper network of international arms dealers emerges, with one of them, Priya (the wonderful Dimple Kapadia, in the film's wiliest performance) serving principally to coax the protagonist through the corridors of Nolan's storytelling. #MamaMia.” (Also Read: Hardik Pandya Reacts On Being Called 'Misogynist' Post 'Koffee With Karan', Says Home Is About Women)
