Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar is going through tough times when it comes to his movies. After the release of his movie Selfiee, Akshay Kumar has registered five back-to-back box office failers in his career. Selfiee was the first movie of Akshay Kumar which also featured Emran Hashmi, however, it also failed to impress fans. Nevertheless, Akshay Kumar has been grabbing the headlines for the statements he gave in the Aaj Tak Show Seedhi Baat. Akshay Kumar opened up on his Canadian citizenship and broke down in the show while remembering his mother. However, what grabbed everyone's eyes when Akshay talked about his son Aarav and wife Twinkle Khanna. Akshay Kumar was asked whether his son Aarav will carry on his legacy and become an actor in the Hindi film industry or not?
Akshay Kumar for the first time revealed that Aarav is not interested in acting at all. In fact, Aarav wants to become a fashion designer. Akshay said, "Usko shauq nahi hai (He is not interested)." When he was further prodded by asking wouldn't he want his son to carry forward his legacy, Akshay told Aaj Tak, "Mai bas chahta hu ke wo khush rahe (I just want my son to be happy)." Akshay also revealed his wife Twinkle Khanna did not want to become actress as well, but due to her mother she acted in many movies. But now she is happy as she writes columns.
Apart from this, Akshay Kumar spoke about changing his citizenship. He said, “India is everything to me. Whatever I have earned, whatever I have gained is from here. And I’m fortunate that I get a chance to give back. You feel bad when people say things without knowing anything.”

The actor further revealed the reason he had applied for a Canadian passport. The Raksha Bandhan star said that as he was going through a lean phase in the 1990s. The poor box-office performance of his films pushed him to apply for Canadian citizenship. He said, “I thought that ‘Bhai, my films are not working and one has to work’. I went there for work. My friend was in Canada and he said, ‘Come here’. I applied and I got in. But then my luck changed and my movies started working again. My friend told me to go back and continue working in Bollywood. So I was back and as I started getting more and more work forgot about my Canadian passport. It never came to my mind that I should get my passport changed. But now I have applied to get my passport changed.”
