Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar, known for his extensive film career, recently shared insights into his son Aarav’s career aspirations. While Akshay has achieved significant success in the film industry, it appears that Aarav is carving a different path for himself.
In a podcast conversation with Shubhankar Mishra, Akshay discussed his son’s choices, stating that Aarav does not wish to enter the film industry. Describing their similarities, he remarked, “We are both very alike. He is into health, and so am I. He is a tall boy and very focused. He loves working.” Despite the family’s film legacy, Aarav’s preferences lean towards the fashion sector, showing no intention to pursue acting or filmmaking.
Akshay elaborated on Aarav’s current endeavors in fashion, revealing that he is engaged in practical learning experiences. “He’s still working a ₹4500 job even today. It’s a good thing, why not?” he commented. Aarav is actively exploring fashion trends by visiting villages and studying various prints. Akshay, while supportive, maintains a hands-off approach in advising his son, emphasizing the importance of kindness in his pursuits.
Aarav Bhatia, born in 2002, is the elder child of Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna. After moving abroad at the age of 15 to further his education, he is presently studying at a university in London. In contrast to his younger sister Nitara, who often appears on social media, Aarav prefers to keep his life private and avoids the media spotlight.
On the professional front, Akshay Kumar is currently garnering attention for his role in the horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla. Directed by Priyadarshan, the film features a talented ensemble, including Paresh Rawal and Tabu. Although the film has received mixed reviews, the collaboration between Akshay and Priyadarshan has delighted fans. The film made a strong start, grossing over ₹15 crore on its opening day, with expectations of improved performance over the coming weekend.
Looking ahead, Akshay’s next project is Welcome To The Jungle, directed by Ahmed Khan. This film boasts an impressive cast, featuring renowned actors such as Jackie Shroff, Raveena Tandon, and Jacqueline Fernandez. Scheduled for release on June 26, 2026, the film is anticipated to be a significant addition to Akshay’s filmography. Additionally, he is set to star in Haiwaan, which also reunites him with Priyadarshan and includes Saif Ali Khan among its cast.
