Akshay Kumar, who made a return to television earlier this year as the host of Wheel of Fortune, recently bid farewell to the show as it concluded. The finale episode was a mix of emotional moments and laughter.
Celebrity Guests and Fun Challenges
For the finale, Akshay Kumar welcomed Farah Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez, and Bhumi Pednekar as special guests. Several moments from the episode went viral on social media, including one where Akshay Kumar is seen dancing in high heels.
During the finale, Jacqueline and Bhumi complained about Akshay's scary pranks on them. In response, Jacqueline gave him a fun challenge: she asked him to wear heels and dance for one minute. She added that if he stopped midway, he would have to transfer Rs 1 lakh to her.
Akshay's Initial Reluctance
Initially, Akshay refused to dance wearing heels, saying, "Pagal hai kya main pehanu? Moch voch aajayegi (Are you mad? What if I twist my ankle). I have never done it in my life, I am very scared, man."
Farah Khan pushed and motivated him to take on the challenge, and with Jacqueline Fernandez's help, Akshay Kumar finally wore the heels. He then danced to his song Laal Pari from Housefull 4, even doing a few spins in the red heels.
An Impressive Performance
Later, Farah and Bhumi Pednekar joined him. Farah also made him try some footwork, which he performed easily. After completing the one-minute challenge, Farah bowed down and clapped for him, clearly impressed with Akshay's attempt.
The heels ended up breaking, and Akshay Kumar said, "Saari aurton ko salaam hai, kaise pehante ho aap log (Salute to all the women. How do you manage to wear these?)."
Viral Sensation and Fan Reactions
Ever since the episode aired, the clip of Akshay Kumar dancing in heels has been going viral on social media. Many fans took to social media to praise Akshay for his performance.
A user commented, "Akshay dancing with heels wasn't in my 2026 bingo card." Another one said, "All things aside, Akshay has never been insecure about his masculinity and we've got to appreciate that about him." A netizen wrote, "This seems so much fun." Another fan of the superstar added, "He can rock heels, he can rock a nose ring too. Truly an icon." A comment read, "Akki is always such a sport."
Wheel of Fortune aired its first episode on January 27, 2026, and marked Akshay Kumar's comeback on television.
