Wheel of Fortune India x Bollywood Wives: From Akshay Kumar’s test to his punctuality put to trial – All from the episode

Akshay Kumar’s Wheel of Fortune India turned its way to meet the Bollywood Wives – Neelam Kothari, Maheep Kapoor, Bhavna Pandey and Seema Khan. The fun-filled episode put both Akshay as well as the wives to test. Nonetheless, it was entertaining for the viewers. Here’s what happened…

How did Akshay Kumar test the Bollywood Wives?

Akshay Kumar did the age-old sabzi test on the Bollywood Wives. Instead of prices of vegetables, though, he asked the guests on his show to name the vegetables in Hindi. Most of them struggled, and ended up making matters worse. In a moment, they struggled with mushrooms to the extent that the next best thing they could come up with was 'button mushrooms.' Akshay made the wives apologize to the viewers for their poor command on the language.

How did the Bollywood Wives expose Akshay Kumar's punctuality?

Akshay Kumar, known for his punctuality, ended up one-upping each of the Bollywood wives when it came to the habit. Neelam Kothari shared how Akshay ended up at her jewellery store at 9 am. Still at home in her pyjamas, she had one question running over-and-over – “Kaun aata hai Jewellery store pe 9 baje?”

Bhavana Pandey also recalled the moment when she took extra steps to arrive early on sets to impress her co-star Akshay Kumar, and still failed to do so. Ironically, Akshay arrived to the sets earlier than even she expected. “Main poori raat so nahi paayi. Ek hota hai IST aur doosra hota hai AKT, i.e., Akshay Kumar Time,” she narrated.
