Wheel of Fortune: When ‘bad man’ Gulshan Grover got whole plane to a halt for portraying villain on screen

Wheel of Fortune, commenced since January 27, 2026, just took an interesting turn. The villains of Bollywood Shakti Kapoor, Gulshan Grover and actor Chunky Panday gathered for an episode, where they narrated their experiences from real life. The actors faced moments where the lines between reel and real blurred and people refused to entertain them for playing villains on the big screen. Here’s what their experiences were like…

What was the moment when Gulshan Grover got an airplane to a halt?

During his time on Wheel of Fortune, Gulshan Grover recalled the moment where he got an airplane to a halt. How – one might wonder. The ‘Bad Man’ recalled an incident where an airhostess refused to sit next to him. The actor spoke about how he requested and got the last scene of an airplane from Kullu. “Main woh seat pe baith gaya. Mere baaju mein airhostess ko baithna hai.” He wondered and asked why the flight would not take-off. “Reason aap hai sir,” the air-hostess told him, adding, “Main Naukri chodh dungi, iske saath mein nahi baithungi.” Upon learning so, Chunky Panday broke into a laugh while Akshay Kumar got curious.

How did Shakti Kapoor’s parents react when he asked them to watch his movie on the big screen?

Meanwhile, Shakti Kapoor revealed the moment when he called his father and asked him to watch his movie, Insaniyat Ke Dushman. The actor revealed that his parents did go to watch the movie and witnessed the Anita Raj scene. The infamous scene is where Shakti Kapoor’s character Shakti Singh has Shashi (Anita Raj) tied to the bed in a way that her movement is restricted. Shakti narrated the scene as, “Woh kehti hai, mujhe Bhagwaan ke liye chodh do, aur main kehta hoon, tujhe Bhagwan ke liye chodh doon, toh main kya khaaunga – prasad?” The actor then revealed how his father asked him off. “Nikal yahan se. Mujhe nahi dekhni yeh picture. Yeh jo tera beta hai, Delhi mein bhi yahi karta tha, idhar (theatre screens) pe bhi yahi kar raha hai!” To that, Akshay and Chunky couldn’t help but grin.
