Akshay Kumar recently opened up about his son Aarav and his ambitions in life. The actor revealed that his son has no interest in films or the family production house. He also shared how Aarav is focused on his studies and fashion career.
Twinkle Khanna is the real disciplinarian
In conversation with ABP News Akshay said, “I am not strict that job belongs to my wife. She is a very serious kind and she keeps us three kids — me, Nitara and Aarav — in line. I am more like a friend to my son. He is 23 years old and he has grown-up very fast. He is studying at the university and he is very much involved in his studies, he has no bad habits. He is more like Twinkle because she also studies a lot.”
No interest in films or production
Elaborating further, he added, “He doesn’t want to come in films. He has told me straight, ‘Dad mere ko nahi aana (Dad I don’t want to come). I tell him to take the reins of my production company but he doesn’t want to do it. He wants to remain in fashion. He wants to be a designer. He is learning fashion at the moment and he’s happy in that life.” He added, “I want him to come in films but I am also happy with his decision.”
A special life lesson on patience
The Khiladi star also shared a special life lesson he gave his son Aarav on his birthday this year. He wrote a handwritten note for him, offering advice about patience. “I wrote him a letter and it read like, ‘Your father has run around a lot in many scenes in films, I have done a lot of running while shooting also, but the keyword is patience. Everything in life should not be a two minute noodles. You can’t get everything in two minutes. Slow fire is much better than a two minute noodle,” he shared.Aarav, who moved to London at 15, has largely stayed out of the spotlight. He is now studying fashion design there.
