Akshay Kumar's Nostalgic Journey with Fans on Wheel of Fortune
Bollywood icon Akshay Kumar recently experienced a heartwarming trip down memory lane during an episode of the quiz reality show Wheel of Fortune, which he hosts. In a surprising and emotional segment, two contestants revealed they had met the superstar back in the 2000s when he was still building his successful career in the film industry.
Neetu's School Days Memory from Rajasthan
The nostalgia began with contestant Neetu, who shared a touching story from her school days in Rajasthan. She recalled being in the 9th grade when she spotted Akshay Kumar shooting for a film decades ago. In a sweet gesture, Akshay noticed her and her friends in the crowd, thrilled to see him, and personally called them over to distribute autographs.
Neetu stated, "Aapne hum girls ko dur se bulaya, aapki taraf aur apne hum sabko autograph diya, voh autograph pata nahi mujhe phir ghar mein mili nahi, toh main chahati hoon aap aaj mujhe firse aapke haatho se mujhe ek autograph dijiye." Akshay was visibly amused by the story, realizing just how much time had passed since that Rajasthan schedule, and he graciously agreed to fulfill her request.
Andell's Childhood Encounter on Marine Drive
The nostalgia trip continued with another contestant, Andell, who revealed his own brush with stardom. He shared that he had met Akshay during the filming of the 1997 hit movie Aflatoon at Mumbai's iconic Marine Drive. Andell was only in the 5th grade at the time, making this encounter a cherished childhood memory.
After listening to these stories of fans meeting him in their childhood, Akshay humorously pointed out to the audience about getting an age-check. He joked, "Aaj lagta hain, meri beizzati ka din hain, kuch karna padega meri umar ka." This light-hearted moment highlighted the passage of time and Akshay's enduring presence in Bollywood.
