When asked if he plans to teach his daughter the importance of money, Akshay said he doesn’t believe it’s something that needs to be taught. “I don’t think I need to. Everyone understands the value of money in their own way. We all work for it, you, me, everyone here. That’s normal. I don’t have to teach anybody about money,” he said.

However, Akshay emphasised that while money is essential, peace of mind should always come first. “Everybody knows the importance of money. But what’s more important than money is peace of mind. That’s what I always go for. 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,” he added, underscoring the value of mental well-being over material wealth.

Married to Twinkle Khanna since 2001, Akshay shares two children, Aarav (23) and Nitara (13). On the professional front, the actor was last seen in Jolly LLB 3 and had multiple releases this year, including Sky Force, Kesari Chapter 2, Kannappa, and Housefull 5. His next big release, Welcome to the Jungle, is set to hit theatres in December this year.
