Here's how Twinkle Khanna's Sunday looked like.

Akshay thanked 'superwoman' Twinkle for giving him PadMan and 'making the film a reality.' He posted an adorable picture with Twinkle and wrote, "The real #PadMan had his wife to thank for his story, so does the reel #PadMan. Full credit to this gorgeous superwoman for finding, chasing and making this film a reality. Over to you guys now."
Of making
PadMan, Akshay had earlier told news agency PTI, "I always wanted to work and make such films but I was not a producer during that time. I didn't have enough money but now I can. My wife told me about Muruganantham and then we met R Balki. So we thought about making this movie. Even Hollywood has not a film on sanitary pads or menstrual hygiene. People always make documentaries but they don't want to make commercial films. We have tried to do that."
PadMan, directed by R Balki, has so far earned over Rs 23 crore at the box office. It also stars Sonam Kapoor and Radhika Apte in pivotal roles.
