Actors Akshay Kumar and Sonam Kapoor were accompanied by family members to the 64th National Film Awards ceremony in New Delhi on Wednesday.

Kumar has been named the best actor for his performance in Rustom — a choice criticised by many people. But he was happy and proud of being a part of the ceremony with his “most important people” — his wife, Twinkle, and son, Aarav.

“An important day in my life with the most important people in the world to me, my family. National Film Awards,” Akshay tweeted along with a photo, featuring his wife and son both dressed in traditional wear.

Kumar wore a black ensemble and matched a bright pink pocket square with his wife’s sari for the event at the capital’s Vigyan Bhavan.

It was all about celebrating the win with the family. This was also true of Kapoor, who has got a Special Mention for her brave act in Neerja.

Kapoor wore a subtle pistachio green sari, with heavy kundan jewellery. She tied her hair in a neat bun.

Her proud father, actor-producer Anil Kapoor, dressed in a black bandhgala, and mother, Sunita, were in attendance.

“Dressed up and all set to accompany Sonam Kapoor for the National Awards in Delhi! It’s a happy day,” Anil posted on Instagram.
