27 Feb – While sons and daughters of most Bollywood stars have no issue taking the shortcut to fame by joining showbiz like their parents, Akshay Kumar recently revealed that son Aarav Bhatia is not one of them. In a recent interview where he was asked about his 20-year-old son, the "Hera Pheri" actor said that Aarav is not interested in a movie career and has no plans to become an actor, despite being a part of the Bollywood legacy. It is noted that Aarav not only has a father as an actor, but mum Twinkle Khanna is also an actress and the daughter of Bollywood legends; Dimple Kapadia and Rajesh Khanna.
"I just want my son to be happy," said Akshay, who revealed that Aarav aspires to pursue a career in fashion designing. Akshay previously spoke about Aarav when he appeared on "Into the Wild with Bear Grylls", telling the adventurer, "My son is very different. He just doesn't want to tell anyone that he's my son. He wants to be away from the limelight. He wants to have his own identity. That's what the whole thing and I understand it. So, I let him be the way he wants to." Aside from Aarav, Akshay and Twinkle are also parents to daughter Nitara.
