Akshay Kumar, the renowned Bollywood actor, has been known not only for his impressive acting skills but also for his disciplined and hardworking nature. Once the highest taxpayer in the industry, Akshay is committed to delivering multiple film releases each year. However, when it comes to his children, he follows a different approach, instilling in them the values of earning and gratitude.
In a candid conversation with Hindustan Times, the actor shared his parenting philosophy. He emphasized that his children, despite their famous father, do not get everything they desire handed to them on a silver platter. Instead, Akshay wants them to understand the importance of hard work and responsibility.
“Whatever they get, they have to earn it. I want them to be responsible human beings who are also full of gratitude for what they have,” Akshay stated firmly. He believes in teaching his children that luxuries and rewards are a result of achievements and relentless effort.
The actor shared an example to illustrate his point. His son Aarav does not get to travel first class unless he has earned it through his hard work. Akshay recounted a family holiday where Aarav was allowed to travel business class. However, this privilege was granted to him only because he had earned his first-degree black belt.
“If he hadn’t achieved it, he would have travelled economy. He has travelled economy on many occasions without cribbing because he understands that he needs to earn it, nothing is handed to him on a platter,” Akshay explained.
As for his professional ventures, Akshay’s fans can look forward to his upcoming film, “OMG 2,” in which he stars alongside the talented Pankaj Tripathi. The movie is set to hit theaters on August 11, and audiences can expect yet another remarkable performance from the versatile actor.
