‘Aarav just doesn't want to tell anyone that he's my son,’ says Akshay Kumar

Akshay Kumar’s much-awaited episode of Into the Wild with Bear Grylls is all set to be aired on September 11, 2020. The highly-anticipated episode will see Akshay’s daredevilry coupled with Bear’s extreme outdoor knowledge. During the episode, the actor not only indulged in adventurous sports but also shared several anecdotes from his childhood and his family life. Speaking about his son Aarav Bhatia, Akshay said that he likes to stay away from the limelight and hence tries not to reveal his parentage.

Talking about Aarav, Akshay said, “My son is very different. I mean, 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."

Akshay also spoke fondly of his deceased father, Hari Om Bhatia and said that he wishes whatever values and rules his father taught him, his son gets that too. Akshay said, “He's (Akshay’s father) the only influence I have in my life and I've followed all his rules and all the things that he has taught me. And I hope my son gets that."

Earlier, Akshay had lavished praise on Bear and said, “I have always admired Bear Grylls for his energy, passion and what he has stood for all these years. It was a humbling experience being with him in the wild as he went about unfolding one challenge after another. It is different out there, as compared to movie sets, as there is no back-up – that sense of realism is very overpowering. Bear is a knowledge reservoir – and he dipped well into his knowledge of surviving in the wild, and shared interesting and new techniques with me."
