Amidst
raging
social
media
debates
on
nepotism
in
the
Hindi
film
industry,
Akshay
Kumar
got
candid
about
his
son
Aarav,
and
revealed
that
he
prefers
staying
away
from
the
limelight.
When
Akshay
recently
featured
on
Bear
Grylls'
Into
The
Wild,
the
two
had
a
conversation
about
family.
Akshay
shared
that
Aarav
is
a
unique
person
and
that
he
wants
to
have
his
own
identity,
and
not
be
known
only
as
Akshay
Kumar's
son.
"My
son
is
very
different.
He
just
doesn't
want
to
tell
anyone
that
he's
my
son.
He
wants
to
be
away
from
the
limelight.
He
wants
to
have
his
own
identity.
That's
what
the
whole
thing
and
I
understand
it.
So,
I
let
him
be
the
way
he
wants
to.
My
father
was
the
only
influence
I
have
in
my
life
and
I've
followed
all
his
rules
and
all
his
things
that
he
has
taught
me.
And
I
hope
my
son
gets
that," he
was
quoted
as
saying
by
Pinkvilla.
Aarav
is
rarely
photographed
by
the
paparazzi
and
is
not
very
prominent
on
social
media
either.
He
does
feature
on
his
mother
Twinkle
Khanna
and
dad
Akshay's
Instagram
handles
once
in
a
while.
When
the
Khiladi
of
Bollywood
was
asked
if
Aarav
is
interested
in
Bollywood
during
an
earlier
interview,
Akshay
had
said
that
his
son
is
too
young
and
is
only
focused
on
studies
for
now.
He
added
that
he
doesn't
know
if
his
children
will
get
into
the
industry
but
he
isn't
going
to
be
pushing
them,
and
wants
them
to
decide
things
for
themselves.
Akshay
is
currently
in
Scotland
shooting
for
his
upcoming
film
Bell
Bottom.
He
was
reportedly
joined
by
Twinkle,
Aarav,
and
daughter
Nitara.
Bell
Bottom
also
stars
Huma
Qureshi,
Vaani
Kapoor
and
Lara
Dutta,
and
is
scheduled
for
release
in
April,
2021.
