Akshay Kumar says son Aarav has refused to join films or run his production house; reveals 23-yr-old only studies: ‘He has no bad habit’

Akshay also opened up about Aarav’s future and revealed that he doesn’t want to be a part of films. “He doesn’t want to come in films. He has told me straight, ‘Dad mere ko nahi aana (Dad I don’t want to come). I tell him to take the reins of my production company but he doesn’t want to do it.  He wants to remain in fashion. He wants to be a designer. He is learning fashion at the moment and he’s happy in that life.” He added, “I want him to come in films but I am also happy with his decision.”

The actor further shared the valuable life lesson he gave Aarav on his birthday this year. He revealed that he wrote a handwritten note for his son with advice on patience. “I wrote him a letter and it read like, ‘Your father has run around a lot in many scenes in films, I have done a lot of running while shooting also, but the keyword is patience. Everything in life should not be a two minute noodles. You can’t get everything in two minutes. Slow fire is much better than a two minute noodle.”

Aarav, who moved to London at the age of 15, has stayed away from the limelight. He is currently pursuing a course in fashion design in London. In his Instagram post on Aarav’s birthday, Akshay shared how his son makes him feel like a “proud sidekick” and beats him in debates about fashion and technology.

He wrote, “Happy 23rd, Aarav! When I was twenty-three, I was learning to beat up people on screen… it’s a strange feeling now to see you beat me every day—whether it’s in tech, fashion, or arguments at the dinner table. Dekhte hi dekhte itna bada ho gaya hai yaar tu… You make me feel like a proud sidekick in my own story. Love you, beta. Cheers to the best 23 years of my life because they’ve been with you.”
