In a recent interview, actor Akshay Kumar discussed his family life and specifically, how his children respond to his movies. He mentioned that while his daughter Nitara is too young to grasp his films, it’s his son Aarav Bhatia who is exceptionally frank about them. Additionally, Akshay revealed that unlike himself, Aarav has no interest in pursuing a career in the film industry.
During the ANI podcast, Akshay Kumar was asked if his films had been seen by his mother. The actor said that all his films have been seen by her at least 7-8 times. Akshay Kumar’s mother, Aruna Bhatia, passed away on September 8, 2021. Speaking about his father, who couldn’t witness his stardom after his demise, Akshay added, “He didn’t see that much, my mother saw it.”
When asked how his kids, Nitara and Aarav, react to his movies, Akshay explained that daughter is very young. “Beti toh bohot choti hai. Beta hai, woh jab film dekhta hai…‘Good dad I’m proud of you,’ bus itna isse zayada nahi. Teenagers have very few words to talk. ‘Beta kaisi lagi?’…’Sorry but it’s bullsh*t Dad.’ If they don’t like it, that’s where it goes (my daughter is very young. Whenever my son watches my films, he just speaks a little. When I ask him, he says he doesn’t like it in case).”
Akshay had previously spoken about his son during a chat with Hindustan Times. He had said, “I was just thinking about how different it is in my home. I want to show my son films, I want to tell him about films, he doesn’t want to see films. I want to put him into all that but he just doesn’t want to see anything, he just wants to do his work. He wants to study or do his fashion designing.”
