Mumbai, April 8, 2026: Actor and host Akshay Kumar brought his trademark discipline and humour to the sets of Wheel of Fortune India. What started as a light-hearted conversation soon turned into a memorable moment, as the star encouraged a contestant to take a fitness pledge on national television. As a result, the segment quickly became one of the most talked-about highlights of the episode.
A Fun Moment Turns Into a Fitness Challenge
To begin with, the segment kicked off when Sahil, a contestant from Sarangpur, Uttar Pradesh, solved a puzzle from the food category. Sahil, who works as a film director and proudly calls himself a foodie, spoke passionately about his love for exploring different cuisines.
Soon after, Akshay Kumar became curious about Sahil’s eating habits. With his signature humour, he jokingly asked whether Sahil would eat anything offered to him. In response, Sahil confidently said that he enjoys food without limits and even treats starters like a full meal. Consequently, the conversation naturally shifted toward health and discipline.
Akshay Kumar’s On-Air Fitness Oath
Following this, Akshay Kumar raised the stakes by challenging Sahil on national television. He asked him to promise that if he reached the bonus round, he would stop eating after 6:30 PM. Without hesitation, Sahil agreed and made the pledge in front of millions of viewers.
Furthermore, Akshay explained that his suggestion was inspired by traditional wisdom. He pointed out that many age-old practices recommend avoiding food after sunset, as it supports better digestion and overall health. Therefore, he encouraged Sahil to be mindful of his daily eating habits.
Health Advice With a Twist of Humour
However, while delivering serious advice, Akshay Kumar did not miss the opportunity to lighten the mood. He humorously added that Sahil’s promise not to eat after evening did not mean he should finish the entire kitchen during the day, saying, “Pura kitchen mat kha jaana.”
Naturally, the witty remark left both Sahil and the audience in splits. At the same time, it perfectly showcased Akshay’s ability to blend humour with meaningful health advice.
A Moment That Quickly Went Viral
As the episode aired, the segment quickly became one of its standout moments. Fans appreciated Akshay Kumar’s practical guidance and entertaining delivery. Moreover, the interaction reflected his long-standing commitment to fitness and disciplined living.
