Akshay Kumar's Heartwarming Sindhi Connection on Wheel of Fortune
What started as a simple language mention on the popular game show Wheel of Fortune quickly evolved into a delightful and memorable interaction between Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar and contestants Vidhi Bharani, Riwaj Ghimire, and Nilam Rajput. The exchange highlighted Akshay's personal connections and humorous side, leaving the audience in stitches and warmth.
A Funny Misunderstanding Sparks Laughter
During a casual conversation, contestant Vidhi Bharani revealed that she is Sindhi. Upon hearing this, Akshay Kumar immediately expressed his affection for the language, saying, "Mujhe Sindhi bahut hi pyaari bhasha lagti hai." He then shared a hilarious story from his past. Once, he called a Sindhi friend at home, and when the friend's mother answered, she said, "Soo ya pada hai, uthaun uss ko," meaning "He is sleeping, I will wake him up." For a moment, Akshay misheard it as "mara pada hai," which translates to "He is dead," leaving him utterly shocked. His reenactment of this moment had the audience roaring with laughter.
Warm Memories and Cultural Bonds
Adding depth to the conversation, Akshay Kumar opened up about his mother's close ties to the Sindhi community. He revealed that his mother knew Sindhi very well and most of her closest friends were Sindhi. He fondly recalled how she would often play cards with them, sharing those memories in a warm and heartfelt tone that resonated with everyone present.
A Sweet Exchange of Love in Different Languages
The mood turned even sweeter when Vidhi asked Akshay if she could say something in Sindhi. She then uttered, "Mokhe taam se jaam pyaar aa," and explained that it meant 'I love you.' Not one to miss a chance to keep the fun alive, Akshay turned to a lady in the audience and asked her to say "I love you" in Marwadi. When she adorably fumbled with the words, Akshay teased her, joking that it seemed she didn't say it very often. This playful banter brought the house down with laughter, showcasing Akshay's charismatic and engaging personality.
In a related note, during the show, Akshay Kumar also gave a shoutout to Katrina Kaif while re-creating the iconic song 'Ek Uncha Lamba Kad' with Disha Patani, adding to the entertainment value of the episode. This entire segment on Wheel of Fortune not only entertained but also highlighted the beauty of cultural connections and personal anecdotes in bringing people together.
