Akshay Kumar is gearing up for the release of his upcoming horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla, which will mark his reunion with director Priyadarshan after 16 years. At a recent interaction, Akshay was asked if he believed in ghosts and he recalled an incident when his wife sensed a presence in their house. The actor, however, accepted that the whole thing didn’t have a scientific basis.
Recalling an incident from a house where he previously lived, Akshay said his wife Twinkle Khanna had often sensed something unusual.
“We used to live in a house where my wife would always tell me, ‘There’s something here.’ My son Aarav was around four or five years old at the time, and I would tell her, ‘Tina, you’re educated, how can you say such things?’ But she insisted she had heard a lady walking inside the house,” he said.
Akshay said he initially dismissed her concerns, until one day he saw his son pointing at someone.
“One day, my son was lying down and suddenly pointed somewhere and said, ‘Don’t stay here, go away, you leave.’ I asked him, ‘Who are you talking to?’ For a couple of seconds, even I was shocked,” he recalled.
My wife said, ‘See, I told you, there’s someone. Even your son is talking to someone. There is something.’”
Akshay said he remains open to the idea of unseen energies. “Maybe such things do exist, some kind of supernatural power or energy. People say that some individuals are surrounded by positive energy, while others attract negativity. There is always some kind of energy around us,” he added.
Bhooth Bangla is scheduled to release on April 10.
