Akshay Kumar wants Aarav to be an actor, but he wants to become a fashion designer in London.
Friendly Relationship in the Family
Akshay Kumar explained that his wife is responsible for the strictness at home.
He treats all three children—Nitara, Aarav, and himself—like a friend.
“I’m not strict; my wife plays that role,” he told ABP News with a smile.
His friendly bond with his son often surprises fans.
Aarav’s Studies and Passion
Aarav moved to London at the age of 15 and is currently studying fashion design there.
He is so immersed in books and the design spirit that no bad habits can touch him.
Akshay explains, “He’s like Twinkle (Khanna), he’s completely dedicated to his studies.”
Aarav prefers to eschew the glitz and glamour of films and trust his craft.
Father’s Wish, Son’s Focus
Akshay says he wants Aarav to work in films—whether acting or becoming a production head.
But his son clearly said, “Dad, I don’t want to. I want to be a designer.”
Akshay even offered him the reins of a production house, yet Aarav remained unwavering in his passion for fashion.
This respectful confrontation between father and son highlights the quests and dreams of both.
The Mantra of Patience: Akshay’s Letter
On Aarav’s 23rd birthday, Akshay presented him with a handwritten card.
In the letter, he explained that life should be “slow fire,” not “two-minute noodles.”
He also wrote on Instagram, “When I was your age, I used to run across the screen… Now you’re leaving me behind in every competition.”
This heartfelt note shows that Akshay enjoys being both a father and a mentor.
The Journey Ahead
Whether Aarav will make his mark in the fashion world or enter films in the future—time will tell.
Akshay said, “I want you to be happy, no matter what path you choose.”
This open-mindedness about his son’s choices has brought the family closer together.
Nitara is also interested in the arts, and creative vibes always prevail in the house.
