Akshay Kumar for his outstanding performance in Rustom, won the 64th National Film Award for Best Actor. After winning, he posted a video on the social media and thanked his well-wishers and also his wife Twinkle Khanna.
Akki said: "Thank you is a very small word to express what I am feeling right now. I am truly humbled by this honour. I will like to thank my fans and the jury of the awards. Rustom was a very special role to play. Wearing the uniform of Indian Navy was an honour in itself and this National Award has made it even more special. I will like to thank my wife Twinkle Khanna who used to tease me often as she said that its good that I have stopped attending award functions since I never returned with an award."
While Twinkle said that she did not know whether to cry or laugh at hubby's big win.
