Our own action hero, Akshay Kumar, dropped his mask and showed something personal. In his recent post, we can see a proud and emotional dad moment.

It was his son Aarav’s 23rd birthday and Akshay left a heartfelt post that every parent could relate.

A Simple Birthday Note

On social media, Akshay shared a short and sweet wish for Aarav. He wrote just like any father would for his son. He called Aarav his growing champ and expressed pride in the man he is becoming.

The best thing about the note was that it wasn’t the polished, PR-heavy message you usually see from celebrities. It was just raw emotion. The note said,

“Happy 23rd, Aarav! When I was twenty-three three I was learning to beat up people on screen. It’s a strange feeling now to see you beat me every day, right from tech to fashion to arguments on the dinner table. Dekhte hi dekhte itna bada ho gaya hai yaar tu—you make me feel like a proud sidekick in my own story. Love you beta. Cheers to the best 23 years of my life because they’ve been with you.”

The Low-Key Star Kid

What makes this even more special is Aarav himself. Being the son of Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna, he could have easily been in the spotlight. But Aarav has always chosen to keep a low profile.

He rarely appears in the media. He seems to prefer a life away from paparazzi flashes. That says a lot about the way he has been raised.

Fans often see Akshay as the disciplined fitness icon, the Khiladi. But his birthday message showed the other side. The father who gets emotional watching his son grow up.

Every parent knows that feeling. One day, you are holding their tiny hands, and the next moment, they are taller than you.

More Than Achievements

Akshay didn’t talk about Aarav’s grades or success. He just focused on Aarav as a person.

That’s a powerful parenting lesson right there. Children don’t just want validation for what they achieve they want love for who they are.

Twinkle Khanna’s Influence

Of course, some credit goes to Twinkle Khanna too. She has always spoken about raising independent children. Both Twinkle and Akshay have made it clear that they won’t pressure Aarav to get into films and he is free to choose his own path.

Children don’t always need grand parties and expensive gifts. Sometimes, all they need is a simple wish from parents. The assurance that they are there for you.
