Akshay Kumar shared a million dollar post for his father-in-law Rajesh Khanna and wife Twinkle, who share the same birthday. On Saturday, Akshay Kumar dug out a really old photo from the family photo archive featuring Rajesh Khanna, Twinkle and his Dimple Kapadia. In his post dedicated to the father-daughter duo, Akshay Kumar wrote how he had heard "fascinating tales" of Rajesh Khanna's "superstardom" when he was young and had never imagined that one day he would end up marry his "fascinating daughter". "While growing up I'd hear fascinating tales of his superstardom, never imagining one day I'll marry his fascinating daughter... Thank you for giving me this precious one. Happy birthday to both of you," Akshay Kumar wrote. The monochrome photo shared by Akshay appears to be from a campaigning schedule after Rajesh Khanna joined politics in the Eighties. The post has close to six lakhs likes in less than two hours.
