On September 15, 2020, Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna’s son, Aarav turned 18 and the family had left no stone unturned to make it a special one for him. Twinkle had posted a picture from the birthday celebration, wherein everyone including her, Aarav and Nitara had sported fake moustaches to match with Akshay Kumar’s look from the film, Bell Bottom. Speaking about raising Aarav to the young man he is today, Twinkle had written, “Happy 18th birthday Aarav! Here is something I had written for you once and to keep loosening the strings and finally cutting them off this year has not been easy. All these years you have been as much my teacher as I have been yours. I learned optimism, kindness and wonder from you as I taught you maths, a few manners and how to switch the lights off when you leave the room.”
Speaking of how her 18-year-old son, Aarav is all set to embark on a new journey of his life as an adult, Twinkle Khanna had continued, “But looking at you growing up and listening to you repeatedly tell me how much you are looking forward to your independence, I have started realizing that when you finally leave my home, my world and step into your own, my lights will go off automatically and my world will be filled with a bleak darkness. Though whenever you return for a visit, I will light numerous diyas and pretend that this is not a permanent power failure; we are just celebrating Diwali. I am already missing the little boy you were but am so proud of the man you have become. #MamaBear #MoustacheMusketeers.”
Twinkle Khanna had often given glimpses of her chef son, Aarav’s culinary skills and the delicious food he makes.

A few days ago, Twinkle Khanna and Akshay Kumar had indulged in a fun interactive session, wherein they had answered questions from little kids. When asked about the best chef in the family, Akshay had retorted, “I don’t think you even have to say it. It’s me. She can’t even make an omelette.” Twinkle, however, called Aarav the best chef and had replied, “He (Akshay) is a very good cook. He knows how to fry my brains, boil my blood. If you really want to know the best chef in our family, it’s our son. He can make anything, from rajma to pizzas to the most amazing dessert.” To which, Akshay had nodded and proudly remarked, “He is the best cook, I am the second best and she can only cook stories.”
