Mumbai, Sep 15 (NationPress) Former actress and author Twinkle Khanna celebrated her son Aarav’s 23rd birthday with an emotional and poetic tribute on social media.
Reflecting on her journey as a mother, she artfully likened children to air in the lungs—precious yet ephemeral, serving as a reminder of the fragile balance between cherishing and releasing them. On her Instagram, Twinkle posted a joyful photo featuring her husband Akshay Kumar and their son Aarav, showcasing the father-son duo smiling together.
In her heartfelt caption, she expressed, “As he turns 23, I feel a strong urge to hold on to him, yet it's essential to remember that children are like the air we breathe, temporarily in our care before the next exhalation. This may not be a perfect analogy since we can't keep having babies like breaths, but you understand, right? :) Here’s to the birthday boy. May he continue to spread his innate kindness throughout the world.”
Akshay also shared his affection for his son, reminiscing about his own experiences at the age of 23. He noted that while he was focused on mastering action sequences back then, his son now “outshines” him in everyday life—whether it's in technology, fashion, or even debates at the dinner table.
“Happy 23rd, Aarav! At twenty-three, I was learning to fight on screen… it’s surreal to watch you surpass me daily in everything from tech to fashion to our dinner table discussions. In the blink of an eye, you've grown so much… making me feel like a proud sidekick in my own story.
Love you, beta. Here’s to the best 23 years of my life, as they’ve been spent with you,” Akshay Kumar shared.
