In a podcast with Shubhankar Mishra, Akshay said that his son is hardly different from him and added, “We are both very alike. He is into health, and so am I. He is a tall boy and very focused. He loves working. But he doesn\u2019t want to join films. He doesn\u2019t have any such plan. He wants to be in fashion.”<\/p>\n

He further opened up about Aarav learning fashion and said, \u201cVoh bechara aaj bhi \u20b94500 ki naukri kar raha hai. Acchi baat hai, kyun nahi? (He\u2019s still working a \u20b94500 job even today. It\u2019s a good thing, why not?) He is going to villages and learning fashion from there, different kinds of prints and everything. I don\u2019t lecture him much, but I have told him not to harm anyone.\u201d<\/p>\n
