Akshay Kumar prioritizes peace of mind over wealth, stating it’s more crucial than earnings. He believes everyone understands money’s importance but personal tranquility is paramount. Regarding his son Aarav, Kumar revealed Aarav, 23, is pursuing fashion design and has no interest in films or his father’s production company, a decision Kumar supports despite his own wishes.
Akshay Kumar, who was last seen in Jolly LLB 3, recently opened up about his approach to money and the lessons he hopes to pass on his values to his daughter Nitara.
Money vs peace of mind
At a press conference of a reality series, the actor shared, “I don’t think I need to. No one really needs to explain it to anyone. Everyone uses their own mind and sees it for what it is. Everyone sitting here, we’re all here to earn money. Even you, the one asking me this question, you’re doing your work, managing so many things, and you’re doing it for money, not just for fun. So, that’s nothing unusual. I don’t have to teach anybody about money”.Elaborating further, he added, “Everybody knows its importance. But what’s more important than money is peace of mind. That’s what I always go for more than money. Yes, I work hard, I work for money, but if I have to choose between the two, I’ll always choose peace of mind over money.”
On his son Aarav
In an earlier conversation with ABP News Akshay spoke about his relationship with his son Aarav. He said, “I am not strict that job belongs to my wife. She is a very serious kind and she keeps us three kids — me, Nitara and Aarav — in line. I am more like a friend to my son. He is 23 years old and he has grown-up very fast. He is studying at the university and he is very much involved in his studies, he has no bad habits. He is more like Twinkle because she also studies a lot.”Elaborating further, he added, “He doesn’t want to come in films. He has told me straight, ‘Dad mere ko nahi aana (Dad I don’t want to come). I tell him to take the reins of my production company but he doesn’t want to do it. He wants to remain in fashion. He wants to be a designer. He is learning fashion at the moment and he’s happy in that life.” He added, “I want him to come in films but I am also happy with his decision.”
