Actors Akshay Kumar and Sonam Kapoor were accompanied by their family members to celebrate their moment of glory at the 64th National Film Awards ceremony here on Wednesday.
Akshay has been named the Best Actor for his performance in "Rustom" -- a choice criticised by a cross-section of people. But he was happy and proud of being a part of the ceremony with his "most important people" - his wife Twinkle and son Aarav.
"An important day in my life with the most important people in the world to me, my family. National Film Awards," Akshay tweeted along with his family photo, featuring his wife and son both dressed in traditional wear.
"So, now I can officially refer to him as my trophy husband," tweeted Twinkle. Twinkle's tweet was in response to Akshay's, in which he confessed the joy of receiving the Best Actor prize is limitless and thanked fans and followers for the admiration. This marks Akshay Kumar's first ever National Award and Twinkle is clearly elated.

Earlier in the morning, Akshay, who has received a lot of backlash for winning the Best Actor award over Aamir Khan, shared a video message saying: "I will get my first National Award today. I can't express my feelings."
