Akshay Kumar's Shocking Book Confession on 'Wheel of Fortune'
In a candid moment that has captured widespread attention, Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar revealed a surprising personal detail during an upcoming episode of the popular quiz reality show 'Wheel of Fortune'. The action hero, who is married to bestselling author and columnist Twinkle Khanna, openly admitted that he has never read a single book in his entire life.
'I Read Faces, Not Books': Akshay's Honest Admission
The revelation came during Akshay's interaction with contestant Yash, a Marine Engineer with a background in writing cartoon scripts and anchoring for the Mumbai Indians. When Yash shared his writing experience on projects linked to Rohit Shetty's franchises like 'Golmaal', 'Little Singham', and 'Simmba', Akshay playfully remarked, 'So basically, you are a writer,' which naturally led to his own humorous confession.
Speaking in Hindi, Akshay stated: 'You know, I haven't read even a single book in my life. I read faces. Honestly, my wife is a writer and I think she reads at least one book every day. By God, I haven't read even one book. I have only read faces. I truly believe there is no book better than a human face.'
His candid honesty immediately resonated with both the studio audience and viewers, drawing laughter and surprise given the stark contrast with his wife's literary reputation.
The Amusing Contrast with Twinkle Khanna's Literary World
The confession highlights an amusing dichotomy between the action star who 'reads faces' and his spouse, Twinkle Khanna, who has established herself as a literary powerhouse. After stepping away from acting following her marriage to Akshay, Twinkle successfully reinvented herself as:
- A popular columnist known for her sharp wit
- An accomplished interior designer
- A bestselling author with multiple successful books
- A talk show host on 'Two Much with Kajol and Twinkle'
Twinkle's transition from Bollywood actress to respected writer and media personality has been widely praised, making Akshay's admission about never reading books particularly striking.
Contestant Yash's Background Sparks the Conversation
The conversation unfolded after contestant Yash introduced himself as a multi-talented professional with experience in:
- Marine engineering
- Writing cartoon scripts for popular franchises
- Anchoring for the Mumbai Indians cricket team
Yash humorously expressed his hope to eventually write for Akshay's film 'Sooryavanshi', showcasing the lighthearted atmosphere that allowed for such personal revelations.
Entertainment Industry Reactions and Context
Akshay Kumar's unexpected confession not only entertained audiences but also sparked discussions about:
- The diverse interests and backgrounds of Bollywood celebrities
- How personal habits can contrast within celebrity marriages
- The growing popularity of reality shows as platforms for genuine celebrity moments
- Twinkle Khanna's successful career transformation from actress to author and host
The episode promises to be a memorable television moment, blending humor, honesty, and the intriguing dynamics of one of Bollywood's most prominent couples.
