Akshay Kumar, one of Bollywood’s most bankable stars, is gearing up for his major Independence Day release, “Khel Khel Mein.” In a recent interview with News 18, the actor discussed the intriguing premise of his new film, which revolves around a game that uncovers secrets and hidden truths in marriages. Interestingly, Kumar shared his stance on privacy, particularly concerning his wife, Twinkle Khanna, potentially checking his phone.
When asked how he would react if his partner decided to go through his phone messages, Akshay Kumar responded with his characteristic candor. “I wouldn’t be scared if I had to show my phone to my partner,” he stated. “My phone lies around with my staff members. At home, it’s always lying around, charging. I’ve got nothing to hide.”
This question ties back to the central theme of “Khel Khel Mein,” which portrays a group of friends and their spouses engaging in a game where they share the contents of their phones. The trailer hints at the escalating tension as everyone grapples with the potential revelations that such a game could bring about.
Exploring the excitement and psychological dynamics of a game that involves sharing phone contents, Kumar elaborated, “This game will be more fun than an outdoor game because outdoor games don’t give you the same kind of adrenaline rush. A phone game requires mental effort. You’ve got to be constantly on your toes, thinking about what to do next if your partner or friends have read your personal messages.”
The actor’s relaxed stance on phone privacy adds an interesting layer of authenticity to the film’s narrative. In a digital age where smartphones store our most intimate conversations and secrets, the concept of willingly sharing this information—particularly within the sanctity of marriage—brings a compelling mix of drama and humor to the screen.
Further raising the buzz around “Khel Khel Mein,” Akshay’s co-star Vaani Kapoor, who is also extensively promoting the film, recently shared a playful video on Instagram.
