Akshay Kumar has made it very clear that Aarav has absolutely no plans to become an actor, and would prefer to have a fashion career. Akshay says he admires Aarav for learning from the bottom up, and Aarav is already working and making approximately 4500 rupees at a fairly basic job.
Choosing fashion over a film career
Aarav is deliberately stepping away from what his family does and from the easy path to fame. He’s told his family he wants to do fashion, not acting, and Akshay supports that. It’s a good example of how kids of famous people can end up with completely different jobs.
Akshay was very direct, saying Aarav isn’t thinking about acting at all; he just wants to learn and work in fashion. This public statement helps people understand what to expect and shows how important it is for people to choose their own jobs, especially in creative fields where family connections often play a big part.
Learning the craft from grassroots experiences
An important part of Aarav’s education is actually experiencing old-fashioned ways of doing things. Akshay says Aarav travels to villages to study local patterns, fabrics, and how crafts are made, getting his knowledge directly from the craftspeople. That kind of real-world learning is really helpful for designers who want to make work that is both genuine and made in a way that doesn’t harm anyone.
Akshay also said Aarav is doing both his studies and a job (earning around 4500 rupees) at the same time. Akshay thinks this is great, because a real job teaches you self-control and gives you a realistic outlook. Combining a job with learning can help young artists become independent and humble.
An independent, low-profile lifestyle
Aarav went to London at 15 and has been living on his own ever since, doing all his own daily tasks and running his own life. He doesn’t like being in the public eye and prefers to keep his life private. This stable, independent way of living goes along with how he learns and removes the pressure to use his family’s name.
Being independent and studying fashion keeps Aarav sensible and focused. He cooks, cleans and deals with responsibilities that many of his friends wouldn’t have to. This practical experience is important for becoming a mature person and a dependable professional, which is what employers and others working with artists look for.
Discipline, fitness, and complementary skills
Aside from fashion, Aarav is also trained in martial arts: he has a black belt in Kudo and has been recognized in Judo. These achievements show self-discipline and strength, which are also useful in design and running a business. Physical exercise can improve concentration, problem solving, and managing your time, all of which are important for artists.
Akshay has found common ground between himself and Aarav, like both being dedicated to being healthy and focused. These similarities aren’t going to mean they have the same career, but they do show a family that values hard work, discipline, and making slow but steady progress, instead of instant fame.
Parenting with respect for choices and growth
When it comes to raising his son, Akshay says he tries to do as little harm as possible and then lets Aarav decide what to do with his life. He doesn’t give Aarav lots of advice and trusts him to manage his own life. This way of thinking supports learning by doing, and lets young people be responsible for their job choices and any errors they make.
Aarav’s journey gives some useful advice for both people who want to be designers and their parents: go to the source for learning, don’t be afraid of a low-paying job to get experience, become self-sufficient, and value discipline. Building a career from the very beginning can give you a much deeper understanding and a more genuine professional personality than taking shortcuts or getting a job through family.
