Actor and writer Twinkle Khanna got a rare gift from her husband, actor Akshay Kumar - a pair of onion earrings. Twinkle took to Instagram to share a picture of the earrings and narrated the story behind it.

She wrote: "My partner returns from performing at the Kapil Sharma show and says, 'They were showing this to Kareena, I don't think she was too impressed, but I knew you would enjoy them so I got them for you.' Sometimes it's the smallest things, the silliest things that can touch your heart. #onionearrings #bestpresentaward.'"

Akshay and Kareena Kapoor visited The Kapil Sharma Show to promote their upcoming film, Good Newwz. It was during the course of the show that Kareena was shown a pair of onion danglers. Clearly, the Bollywood diva didn't take a fancy for them. However, Akshay felt his wife, Twinkle would appreciate them and brought them home for her. Why onion earrings? Well, given the skyrocketing price of onions this season, the joke's always on onions. A cursory look at internet will reveal how people have been presenting onions as wedding gifts to people making funny TikTok videos on the outcome of price rise.
