Mumbai: Many of the star kids are following their parents’ footsteps and joining the entertainment industry, but Akshay Kumar’s son Aarav has other career plans.
During a recent interview, Akshay revealed that Aarav, who turned 23 last week, doesn’t wish to become an actor or a producer, he wishes to be a fashion designer.
Akshay also shared that he is not a strict parent , but his wife Twinkle Khanna is the one who keeps everyone at home in line.
“She is a very serious kind and keeps all three of us – me, Nitara and Aarav – in line. I’m more like a friend to my son. He’s 23 now, and he’s grown up so fast. He is studying at university and is deeply involved in his education. He has no bad habits. He’s more like Twinkle, because she too has always been very studious,” Akshay told ABP News.
“Aarav doesn’t want to join films. He told me straight, ‘Dad, mere ko nahi aana’ (Dad, I don’t want to go there).’ I even suggested he take over my production company, but he isn’t interested. He wants to stay in fashion. He wants to be a designer, and he’s studying fashion right now. That’s where his happiness lies. Of course, I’d love for him to enter films, but I’m happy with his decision.”
Akshay and Twinkle try to keep Aarav and Nitara away from the limelight.
On Aarav’s birthday on September 23, Akshay posted a heartfelt message for his son.
“Happy 23rd, Aarav! When I was twenty-three, I was learning to beat up people on screen… now it feels strange to see you beat me every day – from tech to fashion to dinner table debates. Dekhte hi dekhte itna bada ho gaya hai yaar tu… you make me feel like a proud sidekick in my own story 😅 Love you beta. Cheers to the best 23 years of my life because they’ve been with you,” Akshay wrote.
On the work front, Akshay was recently seen in ‘Jolly LLB 3’, along with Arshad Warsi.
He will be next seen in ‘Welcome To The Jungle’, ‘Bhooth Bangla’ ‘Haiwaan’ and ‘Hera Pheri 3’.
