Taking to social media, Akshay shared a heartfelt and emotional note that resonated deeply with fans, referring to himself as a “proud sidekick” in Aarav’s journey.
In his touching message, Akshay reflected on how life has come full circle. At 23, he was busy perfecting his fight scenes on screen, while now he watches his son shine in everyday life—whether it’s through technology, fashion, or lively debates at the dinner table. “You’ve grown up so fast… you make me feel like a proud sidekick in my own story,” he expressed, adding that the past 23 years have been the most rewarding of his life, all thanks to Aarav.
Twinkle Khanna also commemorated the day with a deeply moving post, sharing a nostalgic photo of herself with Aarav. Her message captured the bittersweet feelings of a mother witnessing her son transition into adulthood and independence.
