My maa Smt Aruna Bhatia peacefully left this world today morning and got reunited with my dad in the other world. I respect your prayers as I and my family go through this period. Om Shanti.”
On Monday, the actor returned to Mumbai from the UK, to be with his ailing mother. Akshay Kumar was shooting for his upcoming film, ‘Cinderella’ with Ranjit Tewari. According to reports, Akshay’s mother had been unwell and was admitted to the ICU.

Earlier, in 2015, in an interview with a leading daily, Akshay talked about his relationship with his mother. “The bond between a mother and her son is so strong yet so gentle…nothing could come between us, no amount of miles or continents can keep us from letting each other know every day that I would be nothing and no one without her.”
