Akshay Kumar opens up about son Aarav's career choice: 'He doesn’t want to be a part of cinema'

Akshay Kumar, renowned Bollywood actor, recently shared insights into his son Aarav Kumar's distinctive lifestyle choices. Aarav, born in 2002, has diverged from the typical trajectory of star kids by expressing disinterest in pursuing an acting career and instead harboring a passion for fashion. In an interview on cricketer Shikhar Dhawan’s show, Dhawan Karenge, Kumar highlighted Aarav's simplicity and independence. He expressed, "I am happy the way Twinkle and I have brought up Aarav; he is a very simple boy. My daughter, on the other hand, likes clothes..."

Kumar elaborated on Aarav's preferences, stating, "We never forced him to do anything; he is interested in fashion; he doesn’t want to be a part of cinema. He came to me and said, 'I don’t want to do films.' I said, 'This is your life, do what you want to do'."

Despite coming from a privileged background, Aarav's lifestyle choices reflect humility and environmental consciousness. He opts to purchase clothes from thrift stores like Thrifty, believing in reducing wastage and leading a frugal life. Kumar also commended Aarav for his self-sufficiency, noting that he manages his household chores independently, including cooking and laundry.

Aarav Left Home At Age 15

Aarav's journey towards independence began early when he left home at the age of 15 to pursue higher education abroad, a decision Kumar initially opposed but eventually supported. Reflecting on this, Kumar shared, "He does his own laundry, he is a good cook, does the utensils and doesn’t even want to buy expensive clothes."
