Akshay Kumar hugging daughter Nitara will melt your heart and remind you of daddy

Akshay Kumar may be a tough, tough guy but he is also the daddy of the year. If pics of Nitara and Akshay holidaying in the US didn't melt your heart, this photo will surely do it. As Akshay, daughter Nitara and wife Twinkle Khanna emerged from a PVR in Mumbai after catching a film, they were faced by a posse of photographers. So, what did Akshay do? He hugged Nitara and ensured she was shielded from the paparazzi. Nitara also snuggled into Akshay's chest as Twinkle walked behind them. So amazing was the daddy-daughter moment that we could see Akshay smiling. Remember those times when your dad came to your rescue when faced with a difficulty? (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla )

Unlike his films, Akshay was not carrying his superstar swagger when he was spotted with his family. Rather he was seen holding his daughter Nitara in his arms. He had donned on a black shirt and jeans, while his wife was seen in a short black dress. Although she has parted ways with Bollywood long time ago, she still looked like a diva. She was seen surrounded by security guards, while Akshay Kumar was seen shielding Nitara from shutterbugs. (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla )

On the work front, this year Akshay Kumar has tasted success with all three of his releases -- Rustom, Housefull 3 and Airlift. (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla )

Mrs. Funnybones aka Twinkle is known for her witty comments on all things recent on Twitter. However recently she did not take things lightly when her father Rajesh Khanna was insulted by veteran actor Naseeruddin Shah. (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla )

Matters were settled and over when Naseer apologised to the family. Akshay also said for them, the issue was over. (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla )

It was a pleasant sight to see that even the superstar and his wife care to take some time out from their busy schedule and spend simple moments with their family. (Source: Photo by Varinder Chawla )
