Actor Akshay Kumar is a cricket fan but his son Aarav Bhatia does not like the sport. Why? Because the actor watches it a lot. Akshay opened up about his love for cricket and why Aarav dislikes it when he became part of Star Sports Philips Hue Cricket Live.

"My son isn't into cricket, but my daughter Nitara is. She is just six years old and loves cricket. My son hates cricket because I watch the sport a lot. But my daughter loves it when I watch it because then even she gets a chance to watch it," he said.

The Kesari actor also became nostalgic while discussing cricket with former Indian captain Sourav Ganguly and veteran spinner Harbhajan Singh. "I played cricket for my school. Usually, players are selected for their bowling and batting skills. But I remember being taken into the team for my fielding skills. People used to say 'this boy is for fielding, he will run around and stop boundaries'," Akshay told.
