Bollywood star Akshay Kumar is proud of actress Taapsee Pannu's growth in career.

The compliment from the star came after Taapsee tweeted posters of "Baby" on Saturday and wrote: "Dear actors, Number of minutes don't matter, the impact u leave with what u do in those minutes ...... matters. 7 minutes that changed the direction of tide for me FOR GOOD. Yours truly, Naam Shabana (Winking face emoji)."

Akshay replied to her tweet saying: "Absolutely! Always make the most of what you have... proud of you and your onwards and upwards journey.
