Bollywood star Akshay Kumar's happiness knew no bounds when he took his newborn daughter in his arms for the first time.

His wife Twinkle gave birth to their second child, a daughter, here Tuesday morning.

"There is no greater feeling in life than holding your baby for the first time. I wish I could express more about how HAPPY I am right now, but I'm at a loss of words," tweeted Akshay Wednesday.

The couple already has a 10-year-old son, named Aarav. They have been receiving wishes galore, and the actor can't thank everyone enough.

"I must thank you all for your love during this special time in my life - Proud Papa," he wrote.

Akshay said Tuesday that their daughter resembles her mother Twinkle, and grandmother, Dimple Kapadia.
