Akshay Kumar is one of the most sought-after actors in Bollywood, and even after decades, he continues to have a strong presence in the film industry.

Popularly known as 'Khiladi', the 58-year-old actor is also a fitness icon, with his strict diet and workout routine often making headlines.

The Sky Force star is celebrating his birthday today, and to mark this special occasion, he shared a heartfelt note for his admirers.

Taking to Instagram, he posted a cluster of his characters’ looks from various films and posed in front of them.

In the caption, the Pad Man actor wrote, “Good morning, everyone! 58 years in the making, 34 years in this industry, over 150 films & counting.

To everyone that ever believed in me, who bought a ticket, who signed me, produced me, directed me, and guided me, this is your journey as much as mine.”

He added, “I’m just here to say an eternal ‘Thank You’ for every kind action, unconditional support, and word of encouragement. I am nothing without you. My birthday is a dedication to all those who still believe in me.”

Industry colleagues and fans filled the comment section with birthday wishes and praise.

Previously a martial arts teacher, Akshay Kumar stepped into the film industry in 1991 with Saugandh and quickly rose to fame as an action star, particularly after the huge success of Khiladi, a title he still proudly carries today.

In his career spanning more than three decades, the Sarfira actor has showcased his versatility by starring in thrillers, dramas, comedies, and patriotic films.

On the work front, he will next appear in the courtroom drama Jolly LLB 3 alongside Arshad Warsi, which is set to hit theatres on September 19.
