Akshay's 75-year-old mother doing yoga can be seen sitting with her feet joined and eyes closed as she meditates.
The 'Proud' actor praised her mom for practicing yoga and making it a part of her daily routine even after a knee surgery.
"Sharing something I'm extremely proud of...post her knee surgery at the age of 75, my mother started doing yoga and now it is part of daily routine, improving one day at a time. #NeverTooLate #BreatheInBreatheOut #InternationalDayOfYoga," he tweeted.
Marking the 5th International Yoga Day, many B-town celebrities shared their videos and pictures on social media.
Bollywood actor and yoga enthusiast, Shilpa Shetty Kundra performed and addressed a large crowd that had gathered to perform yoga in Mumbai.
"Yoga has benefited me in many ways and it is something I practice every day and not just on Yoga Day. The younger generation is a single oriented goal focused youth who is breathing but not living the moment. I believe we should give time to ourselves for yoga. Yoga helps in enlightenment," she said.
Bollywood veteran Anupam Kher too posted an image of him performing a yoga pose on Instagram besides actor-turned-politician Urmila Matondakar also shared an image of her performing a yoga asana amidst the hills on Twitter.
