Akshay Kumar was on Wednesday conferred with his "first ever" National Award for the movie 'Rustom,' and thereby, has got all the reason to be on cloud nine.
Rightly so, the 49-year-old actor took to Twitter and shared a picture from the 64th National Film Awards ceremony, where he can be seen receiving the honour from President Pranab Mukherjee.
He captioned the snap, "No words can do justice to the joy I feel at this moment...sharing with you all my first ever #NationalFilmAward!Thank you for the love."
The 'Baby' star was accompanied by his wife Twinkle Khanna and son Aarav.
