Akshay Kumar did not share screen space with his mom-in-law but the two got a chance to come together for animated flick Jumbo. Dimple dubbed for the character of Jumbo’s mom where Jumbo was played by Akshay and his son Aarav.
Dimple is obviously thrilled to be a part of the project and she says,“I play the mother of Jumbo in the film. She is extremely protective and caring about her child. It is a very endearing character… It was Akshay who brought the film to me… then I saw the film. I liked it a lot and that is why I agreed to do it. The film is special as it gave the opportunity to play mother to my real life son-in-law.”
And she thinks her voice suited her character because she thinks she sound very much like an elephant. She says, “I feel it has suited well, it should actually. My voice sounds like that of an elephant (Laughs). My voice is quite hoarse.”
She is all praises for her son-in-law Akshay who is one of India’s top and most highly paid actors. “He is fantabulous. He has grown by leaps and bounds over the years. In fact he is growing constantly with each of his films. I adore him a lot as an actor and enjoy watching all his films,” she says proudly.
