A candid moment in the latest episode of Wheel of Fortune quickly turned into a fun highlight after a contestant's confession about Shah Rukh Khan caught host Akshay Kumar off guard.
The contestant, named Stuti, quipped, 'Mera pehla pyaar Shah Rukh Khan the' (Shah Rukh Khan was my first love). However, what caught Akshay's attention was the way she shied away and avoided looking at him while saying it.
Akshay quickly joked, 'Mujhe dekh ke kyun nahi bol rahi aap?' (Why aren't you saying it while looking at me?). Following this, Akshay went on to praise Shah Rukh and added, 'Shah Rukh bahut hi badhiya actor hai, dikhne mein khoobsurat ladka hai aur usko like karna koi jurm nahi hai, aur mere saamne bolna toh bilkul bhi jurm nahi hai' (Shah Rukh is a very good actor and a handsome man too. It's not a crime to like him, and certainly not a crime to say it in front of me).
The audience could not stop laughing at his witty response.
Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan are two of Bollywood's biggest stars. Although both began their careers in the 1990s, they have never worked together in full-length roles.
Akshay is currently awaiting the release of his upcoming film, Bhooth Bangla, while Shah Rukh is gearing up for the release of his upcoming film, King.
