Akshay Kumar Shares Hilarious Moment With Contestant Couple on Wheel of Fortune
Akshay Kumar brought laughter to television screens during a recent episode of Wheel of Fortune as a contestant’s candid confession about his marriage turned into one of the show’s most entertaining segments. The actor, who has returned to the small screen as the host of Sony TV’s latest reality game show, interacted with three contestants — Manav Khosla from New Delhi, Ashu Jain from Dehradun and Nishant Chobey from Jharkhand.
The spotlight fell on Manav when Akshay noticed his cheerful energy and asked about the secret behind his happiness. Manav responded that he listens to his wife, a remark that drew instant laughter from the audience and set the tone for a playful exchange.
Lighthearted Banter Steals the Episode
Akshay continued the conversation by asking about Manav’s wife Mukta, who joined the discussion and described her husband as both supportive and affectionate. Manav revealed that his wife is not only the decision-maker at home but also his boss professionally, as he works at her company.
Mukta added that Manav’s vibrant fashion choices and love for music make him a social enthusiast, often requiring her to accompany him to events. The conversation took a humorous turn when she joked that she was searching for a “girlfriend” for her husband to join him at parties and music outings.
Akshay reacted with mock shock, turning the moment into a memorable highlight of the episode. When Mukta playfully asked the actor for help finding someone, Akshay responded with laughter, saying he was not the right person for such a task.
Show Format and Akshay’s TV Comeback
Wheel of Fortune, the Indian adaptation of the globally popular game show, premiered on Sony TV and SonyLIV on January 27. Contestants spin a large wheel to win prize money and solve word puzzles by guessing letters, with the goal of cracking the puzzle while increasing their winnings.
Akshay’s return to television after nearly a decade has been positioned as a major draw for the show, with the actor’s spontaneous humour becoming a key highlight.
Film Update
On the film front, Akshay Kumar is preparing for the release of Priyadarshan’s Bhooth Bangla, which also features Paresh Rawal and Wamiqa Gabbi. The project marks another collaboration between the actor and the filmmaker in the comedy-horror space.
Our Final Thoughts
Akshay Kumar’s hosting style is shaping Wheel of Fortune into more than just a quiz show, blending gameplay with personality-driven moments. The latest episode demonstrates how unscripted interactions and humour can enhance viewer engagement. As the show continues, such candid exchanges are likely to remain central to its appeal while reinforcing Akshay’s strong connection with television audiences.
