Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar turned 58 yesterday, and fans across the country flooded social media with heartfelt birthday wishes.
True to his well-known disciplined and early-riser habits, Akshay’s birthday celebrations kicked off bright and early at 7 a.m., as revealed by his wife, Twinkle Khanna.
Twinkle shared a fun and quirky photo from the celebrations, showing the couple posing behind a giant ‘Joker’ playing card cutout.
Twinkle was dressed up as a clown, complete with a red nose, while Akshay sported playful glasses decorated with playing cards. Alongside the picture, she wrote, “Birthday celebrations that started at 7 a.m. and ended with cards and karaoke in the evening. The birthday boy is known for always winning, I wonder if it’s because he has a certain joker by his side, if not in his hand. :)”
Fans loved the adorable snap, with many commenting on how perfect the couple looked together. One fan called it “The pic of the day,” while another gushed, “Best couple ever.” Many praised Akshay and Twinkle as true ‘couple goals,’ clearly adored by their followers.
Akshay Kumar also took to his Instagram to thank his fans for their endearing love. He wrote, "Good morning, everyone! 58 years in the making, 34 years in this industry, over 150 films & counting. To everyone that ever believed in me, who bought a ticket, who signed me, produced me, directed me and guided me, this is your journey as much as mine,”
“I’m just here to say an eternal ‘Thank You’ for every kind action, unconditional support, and words of encouragement. I am nothing without you, my Birthday is a dedication to all those that still believe me. Love & Prayers, Your Akshay. Jai Mahakal ,” he went on his post.
Birthday wishes poured in from his friends in the industry too. Kareena Kapoor Khan posted a nostalgic black-and-white photo with Akshay, writing, “Akki, Happy Birthday, my favourite. Biggest hug @akshaykumar.”
Meanwhile, Riteish Deshmukh shared throwback pictures from their film Housefull 5, adding a heartfelt note: “Happy Birthday to my dearest friend, brother and partner-in-crime, Akshay Kumar!
