Akshay Kumar recently spoke candidly about his son Aarav Bhatia, clarifying that unlike many star kids, Aarav has no inclination toward joining the film industry. The actor shared that his son is determined to carve out his own identity, choosing to stay away from the spotlight and instead pursue a career in fashion. According to Akshay, Aarav is currently dedicating himself to learning the nuances of the craft from the ground up, even working modest jobs and spending time in villages to gain hands-on experience and a deeper understanding of the field.
In a conversation with Shubhankar Mishra, Akshay Kumar said, "We are both very alike. He is into health, and so am I. He is a tall boy and very focused. He loves working. But he doesn't want to join films. He doesn't have any such plan. He wants to be in fashion."

The actor further revealed, "Voh bechara aaj bhi Rs 4500 ki naukri kar raha hai. Acchi baat hai, kyun nahi? (He's still working a Rs 4500 job even today. It's a good thing, why not?) He is going to villages and learning fashion from there, different kinds of prints and everything. I don't give lectures - not to anyone, especially not to my son. Just one thing: don't harm anybody. Don't hurt anyone. That's it. The rest, he should handle his own life."
Aarav Bhatia, born in 2002, is the elder son of Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna. He moved abroad at 15 for higher studies and is currently studying in London, while choosing to stay away from the public eye. His younger sister Nitara Kumar, born in 2012, often appears on Twinkle’s social media.
