Bollywood, where star kids often step into the spotlight with big launches and flaunt their lives, superstar Akshay Kumar's 23-year-old son, Aarav Bhatia, has chosen a completely different path. Despite having both his parents in the entertainment industry, Aarav is leading a distinct lifestyle.
In a recent heartfelt interview, the Khiladi actor opened up about his son's journey, leaving fans surprised. In an interview with Shubhankar Mishra, Akshay Kumar revealed his son Aarav's interest and the way he parents him.

When the host asked Akshay about the differences between him and his son, the actor said, "We are both very alike. He is into health, and I am also into health. 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."
He then revealed his son's current earnings as he said, "Voh bechara aaj bhi Rs 4500 ki naukri kar raha hai." (He's still working a Rs 4500 job even today) To this, the host was shocked and asked, "Akshay Kumar ka beta Rs 4500 ki naukri kar raha hai?" (Akshay Kumar's son is working a 4500 job?)
Akshay calmly yet proudly replied to this and said, "Acchi baat hai, kyun nahi? (It's a good thing, why not?) He is going to villages and learning fashion from there, different kinds of prints, and everything.
During the same conversation, Akhshay was asked, "Ek koi seekh jo Akshay Kumar ne apne bete ku di ho?" (One lesson that Akshay Kumar has given to his son). Answering this, Akshay shared a simple parenting rule. He said he does not lecture anyone much, not even his children. "Just be, and don't harm anybody. Kisi ku dukh mat pahunchao. Baakhi tu apni zindagi sambhaal lena." (As for the rest, you can take care of your life on your own).
