Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar has revealed that his son, Aarav, has no interest in entering the film industry; instead, he is focused on building a career in fashion. Speaking on a podcast, Akshay noted that while Aarav shares many similarities with him, he has chosen a completely different path for his profession.
The actor said, ‘We share many similarities. He is interested in health, and so am I. He is tall and very focused. He enjoys working, but he does not want to enter films. He has no such plans. He wants to join the fashion industry.’
Aarav is earning Rs 4500 from a village job
Akshay also spoke about Aarav’s learning process and shared details about his work. He remarked, ‘The poor guy is currently working a job that pays Rs 4,500. It’s a good thing, why not?’ He further explained that Aarav is learning the fundamentals of fashion by traveling and gaining hands-on experience. Akshay stated, ‘He visits villages to learn about fashion, different types of prints, and everything else. I don’t preach to him much, but I have given him one piece of advice: never cause harm to anyone.’
