Superstar Akshay Kumar, one of the hottest B-Town actors,
has joined the Khans and is celebrating his 50th birthday lately. Akshay is off
to Switzerland with wife Twinkle Khanna, daughter Nitara and son Aarav to rejoice
his special day. In an interview with a famous tabloid, the actor was asked how
does it feel to touch the half century mark.
Akshay Kumar revealed, "Am I allowed to say it feels as
good as it did when I turned 21 (laughs)? I’m really enjoying the fact that I
have not only reached 50 alive, but also feeling positive about my career,
blessed for my health and over the moon with how I’m spending my big 50 on the
Swiss Alps with my family."
Have things changed after being a father and how does he
celebrate birthday now? "Absolutely! This year might be my [life’s] half
century, but I’m actually celebrating by giving my son his dream snowboarding
holiday, as much as I know I’ll love it... I’m only doing this for my boy
because I know what this kind of adventure with his family will mean to him.
Actually, I even remember my 40th in Florida; my wife and I took Aarav to a
theme park all day, and when we came home, we were all so knackered that we all
fell asleep by 5.30pm on my birthday — no party, no celebration, just
unconditional family time. I always want my birthday to be about making my
children happy and that’s all I would ever wish for, for they are all I want
and need," revealed Akshay.
"I’ve promised my son more adventurous holidays. I’ve
promised my wife that I’d chew my food more. I’ve promised my daughter I’ll
stay strong so I can carry her up every mountain her brother wants to climb,
and I’ve promised my coach [that] I’m not going give up — turning 50 means 50
reps of everything, apparently," further added Akshay.
Remembering his finest birthday gift, he revealed the tabloid,
"I will never forget the Harley Davidson my wife gifted me, but actually
it’s always the family holidays that I cherish the most. You can’t take money
or possessions to the grave — only memories and a lifetime of love and
happiness. No gift will ever replace the time we spend together, my wife could
buy me an island, but I’ll still just want to walk on Juhu Beach (in Mumbai)
holding her hand — something we do for free whenever we want, but to me that’s
what I call magic."
