New Delhi: Akshay Kumar recently opened up about how his kids react to his films. In an interaction, the Bollywood star shared that while his daughter Nitara is too young to understand his films, it's his son Aarav Bhatia who is brutally honest about them. The actor also revealed that Aarav, unlike him, is not interested in the film industry.
During the ANI podcast, Akshay Kumar was asked if his mother had seen his films, to which the actor replied, "She has seen all my films 7-8 times.” When asked about his kids, Akshay said, "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 kaise lagi?’…'Sorry but it’s bullsh*t Dad.' If they don’t like it, that’s where it goes (my daughter is young. Whenever my son watches my films, he just speaks less. When I ask him, he says he doesn't like it in case).”
Akshay has also spoken about his work and its relation to his kids on previous occasions as well. Earlier, he told HT, "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.”
He also shared, "My son… he is not interested in films. He just wants to do his fashion designing and he is into that. Daughter is very small...”
Akshay Kumar and Twinkle Khanna are parents to two kids. While Nitara was born in 2012, Aarav turned 21 last month.
On his birthday, Akshay shared a sweet post for his son on Instagram and wrote, "Hi mere angrez puttar…the candles on your cake count to 21 today, but for me you’d always be the li’l one who’d jump into my lap and make a tough day worth carrying on. Enjoy your day my son, you can now legally do everything I suspect you’ve been doing already ;) Love you, Aarav. Forever your proud dad.”
Meanwhile, on the work front Akshay Kumar's latest release 'Mission Raniganj' was released recently to positive reviews.
