Akshay's mother admitted to Hiranandani Hospital

Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar flew back to Mumbai from the UK in the wee hours of the morning of September 6 to attend to his ailing mother, Aruna Bhatia.

"The actor's mom has been unwell for a few days and is in the ICU at Mumbai's Hiranandani Hospital. Akshay is extremely attached to his mother and could not stay away from her, while she is not well, so he decided to fly back to India in a sudden decision," shared a source.

The actor has been shooting for his film 'Cinderella' in the UK for the past couple of weeks.

"Even as he has flown back to be with mom, he has told his producers to carry on shooting with scenes that do not require his presence. All other work commitments of his also continue. He has always believed that work must go on, despite any personal challenges," the source added.
