Akshay Kumar Says Son Aarav Is Pursuing Fashion, Not Films

He casts it as a bid for independence through hands-on fashion training.

Overview

  • Akshay Kumar, speaking in an interview published Saturday, said his 23-year-old son Aarav has no plans to act and is focused on a career in fashion.
  • He said Aarav is earning about Rs 4,500 in a starter job and is traveling to villages to learn fabrics, prints, and traditional techniques at the source.
  • Akshay described a light-touch parenting style, adding that he avoids lectures and tells his son only to avoid harming anyone.
  • Reports note Aarav moved abroad at 15 for higher studies and is now at a London university, where he keeps a low profile away from celebrity attention.
  • The remarks came during promotion for Akshay’s new film Bhooth Bangla, and outlets framed Aarav’s path as a break from the usual Bollywood entries expected of star children.
