Akshay Kumar's SUPERSTAR life, in pictures!

Happy birthday, Akshay!

With Airlift, Housefull 3 and Rustom faring well at the box office, this year has turned out to be quite fruitful for Akshay Kumar.

He also made it to the Forbes' Highest Paid Actors list for the year 2015-2016.

As Akki turns 49 today, we celebrate his birthday by taking a look into his superstar life, courtesy his Instagram feeds.

If you haven't guessed it yet, then let us tell you that's Akshay Kumar channeling his inner rockstar with his best friend and wife Twinkle Khanna.

That's how you rock 'n' roll baby!

The actor chills with his pals and Houseful team -- Boman Irani, Riteish Deshmukh, Sajid Nadiadwala and Abhishek Bachchan -- quite literally!

Akshay enjoys his role as a doting father to daughter Nitara.

He shared this picture on Instagram and captioned it, 'When the heavens open, only my daughter can make it feel like a heavenly day! Love her to the moon & back #SundayFunday.'

From taking early morning walks with Nitara to packing some punches with son Aarav, you name it and Akshay does it!

Oh, and just so you know, he is funny in real life too!

The joys of living a simple life! That's Akshay making thandai himself. 

Not just fans but even Ranveer Singh loves the Khiladi, and that's his fan boy moment.

We got just one word for the Rustom actor: SWAG!

The merits of being a Bollywood superstar -- you get to hobnob with Hollywood goddess Salma Hayek.

This is what sets Akhsya apart from his contemporaries: his crazy fan followers.

The actor shared this picture on Instagram and wrote, 'Just when I felt you'll have given me enough love, you'll go ahead & do this...hire a crane to garland my poster!Never felt so loved! Thank u a million times over :) #GabbarIsBack.'
