New Delhi: Actor-turned-author Twinkle Khanna created quite a stir on Instagram with a clever and intriguing update to her profile. In what appears to be a carefully orchestrated move, Twinkle inserted a strap on her display picture that reads, “Kumar's +1,” likely referring to her husband, actor Akshay Kumar.
On Thursday, Twinkle shared a picture on her Instagram handle against a vibrant red backdrop. The image, devoid of any caption, displayed white text that initially read “Twinkle Khanna,” but was emphatically struck out and replaced with “Kumar's +1.” Not stopping there, she extended the theme to her display picture and altered her bio to read: “Move over Mrs. Funnybones, say hi to Kumar’s +1.” The moniker "Mrs. Funnybones" is a reference to Twinkle's first book, published in 2016, and has become synonymous with her persona.

Netizens react
The Instagram update caught the attention of users, with many praising Twinkle for sending a powerful message to those who solely recognise her as Akshay Kumar's wife, overlooking her individual professional accomplishments.
Responses flooded in, with comments ranging from admiration to amusement. One user expressed, “Hahaha awesome,” while another found it “triggering” but loved the creative approach.
Amid the applause, some speculated that this might be a hint at Twinkle's upcoming book, suggesting a potential new project. However, a few users misunderstood the context, extending congratulations to Twinkle on what they believed to be her third pregnancy.
Twinkle's older post
Earlier on Wednesday, Twinkle had shared a reel in which she is seen playing with her pet dog. She wrotein the reel, “Morning with Mr Jeeves, who has more style than me. Afternoon at Mr Foggs, where I managed to match the decor accidentally.”
She wrote in the caption, “A perfect day that involves dogs and drinks! Do you know why I believe we unzip the secret compartments of our heart to carefully tuck these furry creatures inside?

It is the way our dogs look at us. It doesn’t matter if we are adolescents or grandmothers, comely or plain, hilarious or terrible bores. Their gaze is a place without judgement. Dogs, with their paws, tails and snouts, remind us that we are never more human than when we, like them, love unconditionally.
Are you a dog person or a cat person and why? Let me know in the comments below.”
Earlier this year, Twinkle accomplished a master's program in fiction writing from Goldsmiths, University of London, and recently released the novel "Welcome To Paradise."
