Akshay Kumar aka Rajiv Hari Om Bhatia, who started his career in the world of showbiz in 1987 will turn 52 on September 9. The actor-filmmaker does not have grand plans for his birthday. It would be an intimate affair with his family - wife Twinkle Khanna and their kids, Aarav and Nitara in London.

A source close to Akshay informed Mumbai Mirror, "It will be a low-key celebration for the Kumars. The idea is to spend quality time with the entire family".

Akshay Kumar shared the video and urged everyone to spend time with their parents. The Mission Mangal actor captioned the video as: "Juggled shoot to spend a few days with mom in London. No matter how busy you are with life and growing up, don't forget they are also growing old...so spend time with them while you still can."

On the work front, Akshay was last seen in Mission Mangal. The movie, based on a true story of India's mission to Mars, is about ordinary people achieving the extraordinary. The film has emerged as Akshay Kumar's biggest opener till date.
