A Father’s Wisdom: Akshay’s Handwritten Note to Aarav
For Aarav’s 23rd birthday, Akshay Kumar gifted his son a heartfelt handwritten letter. In it, he offered a life lesson wrapped in his signature humor and humility:
“Your father has run around a lot in many scenes in films, I have done a lot of running while shooting also, but the keyword is patience. Everything in life should not be a two-minute noodles. You can’t get everything in two minutes. Slow fire is much better than a two-minute noodle.”

“Happy 23rd, Aarav! When I was twenty-three, I was learning to beat up people on screen… it’s a strange feeling now to see you beat me every day—right from tech to fashion to arguments at the dinner table. Dekhte hi dekhte itna bada ho gaya hai yaar tu… You make me feel like a proud sidekick in my own story. Love you beta. Cheers to the best 23 years of my life—because they’ve been with you.”
