Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar on Friday shared a warm message for his son Aarav on his birthday. Kumar on Friday tweeted a photograph of Aarav, who has turned 15.
“From teaching you how to climb a tree, to learning from you how to make a video call... Happy birthday to my favouritest human being [sic],” Kumar captioned the image.
Aarav is the first son of Kumar and his wife, entrepreneur, author and producer Twinkle Khanna. Khanna is the daughter of actors Rajesh Khanna and Dimple Kapadia. The star couple also have a daughter named Nitara, who was born in 2012.
Kumar was recently asked when his son would start a career in the Hindi film industry.
He said: “Firstly, he is just 15 years old, so right now he is busy in studies. And I won’t force my children to join the film industry. They should have their own journey. I told my son, ‘Yes, if you want to become an actor, you have to go to producers, struggle and earn the opportunity’.”
As for his own film career, Kumar will next be seen in Padman and Gold.
Directed by R. Balki, Padman is a biopic on Arunachalam Muruganantha, a man who created a revolution in the field of affordable menstrual hygiene. The film also features actresses Radhika Apte and Sonam Kapoor.
Gold, backed by Excel Entertainment and directed by Reema Kagti, is about India’s first Olympic medal win (in hockey) as a free nation in the year 1948 at the 14th Olympic Games in London. It will release on Independence Day (August 15) 2018. The movie will also introduce actress Mouni Roy into Bollywood.
