We have always seen Bollywood celebrities doing charitable work. But when did we last see an 11 year old kid doing charity and taking active interest in it... We are talking about B-town’s action king Akshay Kumar’s son Aarav, who does a lot of Charity at such a young age...

Apparently, Aarav, not only takes social responsibilities seriously himself, but he also urges his dad to do the same. The boy regularly visits charitable institutions and donates clothes and toys to underprivileged kids.

Revealed a source close to Akshay, "Every now and then, both father and son clean up their cupboards. Aarav gathers all the stuff that they don’t need and heads to Bal Bhavan-Shraddha Vihar, an orphanage located in Andheri, and donates all the things."

The insider also added, "Apart from that, Aarav often also takes toys and clothes and goes with his driver to distribute them among street kids."

Every time Aarav hears of some social cause, he nudges Akshay to contribute to it in some way. "Once he heard of an initiative for the education of the poor. He made Akshay find out more about it and make a contribution to fund the kids’ education."

Apart from his do-gooder nature, Aarav is also very eco-conscious. The source said further, "He tells everyone to plant trees and not litter the streets and public spaces. When a news channel started an initiative called Greenathon (a nationwide campaign to save the environment), Aarav coaxed his father into supporting it."

The actor, eventually, helped bring electricity to an entire village.

The actor’s spokesperson, however, confirms the news, and says that even Akshay is pleasantly surprised by this side to Aarav’s personality.
