Summary
- Aarav Kumar was scared of Vidya Balan for six years.
- He refused to meet her after watching Bhool Bhulaiyaa.
- Akshay Kumar had to reassure his son about Vidya Balan.

Actor Akshay Kumar recently recounted a striking childhood memory concerning his son, Aarav Kumar, and the impact of the 2007 film Bhool Bhulaiyaa. Aarav developed a significant fear of actress Vidya Balan, who starred in the psychological thriller, lasting for six years.
Kumar explained that his son was so disturbed by Balan's performance as Manjulika that he would refuse to meet her. Aarav perceived Vidya Balan as the character, leading to a persistent apprehension. The actor mentioned that he had to actively reassure Aarav, explaining Vidya Balan's true persona, but the fear remained for a considerable duration.
This revelation came about during promotions for Kumar's new film, Bhoot Bangla, a horror fantasy described as being suitable for children. He contrasted it with Bhool Bhulaiyaa, highlighting the difference in tone and audience appeal between the two projects.
