Akshay Kumar reveals son Aarav was scared of Vidya Balan for six years after watching Bhool Bhulaiyaa: “He had developed a problem with her”

Actor Akshay Kumar recently shared a personal story about how his son Aarav was affected after watching the movie Bhool Bhulaiyaa for the first time. He said the film left such a strong impression on him that he was scared of Vidya Balan for several years. Akshay spoke about this while promoting his new movie Bhoot Bangla, directed by Priyadarshan, during an event in Delhi.

He explained that the two movies are very different in style and theme.

 Bhool Bhulaiyaa is a psychological thriller where the story starts with someone being possessed, but later it turns out to be a mental issue. Bhoot Bangla, on the other hand, is a horror fantasy with a more clear explanation about the characters and their actions. He also mentioned that Bhoot Bangla is made for a younger audience.

Akshay also shared how his son was scared of Vidya Balan for six years after watching Bhool Bhulaiyaa.

 He said his son thought she was the character Manjulika from the movie. Whenever she came home, the boy refused to look at her or meet her. He even believed she was still Manjulika. Akshay had to explain to his son that she was just Vidya, a real person who was kind. But it took a long time for his son to believe that. For six years, he kept seeing Manjulika in her.

The movie Bhool Bhulaiyaa, released in 2007, is one of Vidya Balan's most memorable roles.

 Her portrayal of Manjulika left a lasting impact on audiences, and many people still associate her with the character.
