Akshay Kumar, the celebrated Bollywood actor known for his action-packed roles, showcased his tender and emotional side as he penned a heartfelt birthday message to his daughter Nitara Bhatia, who recently turned 11. The actor, who is often seen performing daring stunts on the big screen, poured his emotions into a sweet note on social media, capturing the essence of watching his beloved daughter grow up.
On Instagram, Akshay shared a heartwarming video featuring moments of father-daughter bonding at a picturesque beach destination. In the clip, the duo can be seen enjoying the ocean together. Alongside this touching video, Akshay expressed his sentiments about Nitara's rapid growth into adolescence.
The actor wrote in the caption, "I’ve never understood why daughters grow up so fast. My little baby who used to hold my hand to take baby steps will soon be a young lady, with the whole world to conquer. I am incredibly proud of you and your creative mind, Nitara." It's a sentiment that many parents can relate to, as they watch their children transition from childhood to the teenage years in what seems like the blink of an eye.
Akshay Kumar went on to celebrate his daughter's uniqueness, stating, "Other kids want to visit Disneyland, you want to create one. Spread your wings, sunshine… I and your mother will always try to be the wind beneath them. Happy Birthday my princess."
Meanwhile, Twinkle Khanna, Akshay's wife, former actor, and acclaimed author, also took to social media to mark their daughter Nitara's 11th birthday. She shared a charming video that captured Nitara's adventurous spirit as she indulged in rock climbing. The video then transitioned to Nitara, dressed in the same outfit, sitting in front of a table with her birthday cake, ready to make a wish.
In her caption, Twinkle lovingly referred to Nitara as her "funny little monster" and praised her for being "fiercely confident." She candidly expressed the financial strain of multiple September birthdays but emphasized that her heart was full.
Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna have been married since January 17, 2001, and their family has grown with the addition of two wonderful children. Their son, Aarav, recently celebrated his 21st birthday, prompting Twinkle to reflect on the journey of parenthood and the transition of watching children grow into adults.
In a touching Instagram post earlier this year on Aarav's birthday, Twinkle mused, "Raising a child is a bit like building a house and designing each room. You do the best you can, and finally, it's time to hand over the house to its rightful owner who will rearrange the furniture the way they like and pay the bills as well."
Akshay Kumar's heartfelt message and Twinkle Khanna's loving tribute to their children not only offer a glimpse into their personal lives but also resonate with parents everywhere who cherish the fleeting moments of childhood and celebrate the remarkable individuals their children become as they grow up.
