Mumbai: As Akshay Kumar gears up for his upcoming horror-comedy ‘Bhooth Bangla’, he recalled a spooky incident that left him shaken and questioning the supernatural.
Speaking at the India Today Conclave, when Akshay was asked if he believes in ghosts, the actor said while there is no scientific evidence regarding it, but a personal incident made him reconsider.
Recalling the time when he resided in another house, Akshay shared that his wife Twinkle often felt something strange about the space.
“We used to live in a house where my wife would always tell me, ‘There’s something here.’ My son Aarav was around four or five years old at the time, and I would tell her, ‘Tina, y
ou’re educated, how can you say such things?’ But she insisted she had heard a lady walking inside the house,” Akshay said.
He didn’t believe Twinkle, until an incident involving his son shook him.
“One day, my son was lying down and suddenly pointed somewhere and said, ‘Don’t stay here, go away, you leave.’ I asked him, ‘Who are you talking to?’ For a couple of seconds, even I was shocked,” Akshay recalled.
“My wife said, ‘See, I told you, there’s someone. Even your son is talking to someone. There is something’.”
Reflecting on the experience, Akshay said he is open-minded about the possibility of unseen forces.
“So I presume maybe such things do exist, some kind of supernatural power or energy. People say that some individuals are surrounded by positive energy, while others attract negativity. There is always some kind of energy around us,” he said.
Akshay will be reuniting with Priyadarshan for ‘Bhooth Bangla’ after 16 years.
The film, which also stars Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Wamiqa Gabbi and Rajpal Yadav, will hit theatres on April 10.
