Setbacks Apart Dimple and Friends Cheer For Akshay Kumar, Little Aaarav Sits Through Kambakkht Ishq

By Subhash K Jha, Kambakkht Ishq is the first Akshay Kumar starrer that his son Aarav stayed awake watching till the end, thanks to his Naani Dimple Kapadia who not only cheered the film at a private screening on Wednesday night but also made sure Aarav remained enthused.

It hasn’t been an easy time for the gorgeous Dimple Kapadia.

In spite of a cloud hovering over her happiness, what with sister Simple seriously ill for some time now, Dimple was prominently present at Akshay’s special screening of Kambakkht Ishq on Wednesday evening.

Not too many people know this. But Akshay Kumar’s biggest fan is his mother-in-law Dimple Kapadia.

Taking time off from looking after her ailing sister, Dimple showed up at Akshay Kumar’s special screening with 30 of her friends. And Dimple enjoyed herself thoroughly.

Says Akshay shyly, “My mother and mother-in-law are my biggest supporters. My mom came with about a 120 of our friends and relatives. My mom-in-law had invited 30 of her friends. And they seemed to be having a good time.”

Dimple makes it a point to watch all of Akshay’s major films and insists on bringing her pals along.

But she also makes it very clear that the most important man in her life is Akshay’s son Aarav.

“That’s true,” laughs Akshay. “In fact I value my mother-in-law and my son’s opinion the most.”

Aarav known to doze off at all of Akshay’s premieres stayed awake right till the end of the special screening of Kambhakkt Ishq.

“My mother-in-law made sure Aarav was comfortable. Both of them kept laughing throughout the film and that’s a good sign.”
