New Delhi: Looks like Akshay Kumar’s son Aarav is not interested in the glitter and glamour of Bollywood. While chatting with cricketer Shikhar Dhawan on his talk show, Bollywood superstar Akshay revealed some interesting things about his son. Akshay defined his son as a very simple boy. 

Akshay Kumar revealed that Aarav, now studying at a university in London, left home at the young age of 15. Even though Akshay was hesitant at first, he eventually came to appreciate Aarav's choice to live on his own. Akshay said,  "My son Aarav is studying at the university in London. He left home at the age of 15. He was always fond of studying and wanted to stay alone. It was his decision to move, even though I didn’t want him to go. However, I could not stop him because I left my home at the age of 14."

Praising his son's grounded character, Akshay said “He (Aarav) does his own laundry, he is a good cook, does the utensils and doesn’t even want to buy expensive clothes. In fact, he goes to a second-hand store, Thrifty, to buy clothes because he doesn’t believe in wastage.”

I said this is your life, do what you want to do.”
