Actor turned author Twinkle Khanna revealed that her daughter with actor Akshay Kumar was recently bitten by their pet dog on both hands. In her column for Times Of India, Twinkle narrated the incident in detail involving her pet dog, Freddie who she shares with a cousin. She also spoke about her daughter's attachment to the dog and her reaction to being bitten and getting shots for rabies and tetanus.

Author Twinkle Khanna recalled, “This Christmas, someone accidentally placed a plate of chicken satay in front of the kids (Aarav and Nitara), while Freddie was around. He jumped on the plate and started gulping down the pieces. My 11-year-old (Nitara), worried about him swallowing the wooden skewers holding the chicken together, tried pulling the pointed skewers out of his mouth. She got bitten on both hands."
