Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, known for his massive success and disciplined lifestyle, recently made a surprising revelation about his son Aarav Kumar. Despite being the son of one of India’s highest-paid actors, Aarav has chosen a grounded path and is currently working a modest job with a salary of just ₹4500.
Aarav Chose Simplicity Over Stardom
During a podcast interview with Shubhankar Mishra, Akshay Kumar spoke candidly about his personal life and his son’s choices. He revealed that Aarav has no interest in joining the film industry and prefers to stay away from the limelight. Instead of chasing fame, Aarav is focused on learning and building his own identity.
Akshay shared that Aarav has been living independently since the age of 15. He appreciates his son’s dedication and strong work ethic, highlighting how similar they are in terms of discipline and lifestyle. According to him, Aarav values hard work and enjoys staying productive rather than relying on family wealth.
Learning From the Ground Up
What makes Aarav’s journey even more interesting is the kind of work he is doing. Akshay revealed that his son is exploring rural areas and learning about textiles, fabrics, and traditional prints. His current job, which pays ₹4500, is part of this learning process.
Rather than seeing the low salary as a drawback, Akshay considers it a positive step. He believes that earning money independently, no matter how small the amount, builds character and teaches real-life values.
A Proud Father’s Perspective
Akshay Kumar expressed pride in Aarav’s decisions, emphasizing that success is not always about money or fame. For him, it’s more important that his son is gaining knowledge, staying grounded, and understanding the value of hard work.
Akshay and his wife Twinkle Khanna have always maintained a relatively private family life. The couple also has a daughter, Nitara, born in 2012.
Akshay Kumar’s Work Front
On the professional front, Akshay Kumar is currently in the spotlight for his film Bhooth Bangla, directed by Priyadarshan. The movie has been receiving strong attention at the box office.
He also has several big projects lined up, including Welcome to the Jungle, Hera Pheri 3, and Golmaal 5, which are expected to keep him busy in the coming months.
