Believe it or not! Actress-turned-writer Twinkle Khanna's mother Dimple Kapadia thought Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar was gay! Yes, you read that right.

Twinkle Khanna made the startling revelation on the second episode of 'Koffee With Karan' season 5 that aired on Sunday, November 13.

Twinkle Khanna said, "He (Akshay) had come to ask my mother if he should marry me. My mother and me were sitting together on this couch. He sat opposite to us and my mother's friend was there next to him. Akshay was doing some sort of Accupressure on her back...(bursts out laughing). My mom whispered to me, 'I have to tell you something after he goes'. I was like, no tell me now. She says,' Your friend Sandeep who is doing some piece on a newspaper says Akshay is gay'. And she has told me this while we are sitting there and this guy is doing Accupressure."

Akshay Kumar had to persuade Twinkle Khanna's mother to let him marry her daughter. Twinkle Khanna revealed that since her mother thought Akshay Kumar was gay, she advised her to live with him for a year.
