Akshay Kumar Posts Pic of His Birthday on a Boat With Daughter Nitara

New Delhi: Akshay Kumar is spending his birthday is the best way possible - on holiday with his family. The actor is 49 today and while he neglected to tell us exactly where he's celebrating his penultimate year in the 40s, he did post this wonderful picture of himself and three-year-old daughter Nitara (whose face is carefully not shown, as ever).

Blue sky, blue sea and as Akshay puts it, his "princess." Not pictured are wife Twinkle and son Aarav. Happy birthday, Akshay Kumar.
 

 

Sunshine, perfect breeze and beach bumming with my princess = a perfect birthday #feelingloved #grateful #happyman

Back home in Mumbai, Twitter was flooded with birthday wishes for the actor, many of which he responded to.

Chief among the wishes was one from Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay's co-star from films like Aankhen and Waqt.
