Mumbai, March 31, 2026: A wave of nostalgia swept across the sets of Wheel of Fortune when Akshay Kumar and a contestant from Surat recreated iconic moments from the cult comedy Garam Masala. What began as a casual conversation soon turned into a laughter-filled throwback that delighted everyone on set.
A Feel-Good Throwback to Garam Masala
To begin with, the fun started when Akshay Kumar asked contestant Abhishek about his marriage plans. Staying true to his signature comic style, the actor playfully teased him about his personal life.
“Abhishek, main jaanta hoon ki aapki shaadi abhi tak nahi hui hai. Aapne koi ladki dekh rakhi hai?” Akshay asked, instantly making the audience smile.
However, instead of giving a straightforward answer, Abhishek surprised everyone. He began quoting one of the most famous dialogues from Garam Masala:
“Jo ladki hume chahiye usse hum nahi chahiye aur jo ladki ko hum chahiye voh…”
Although he stumbled midway, the audience applauded his effort. Meanwhile, Akshay appreciated the attempt and encouraged him to continue the playful exchange.
The Punchline That Stole the Show 😂
Soon after, Akshay took the conversation forward and asked, “Kaisi ladki chahiye woh bata?”
That’s when Abhishek delivered an unexpected response that became the highlight of the episode:
“Sir, ladki honi chahiye aur zinda honi chahiye!”
Naturally, the studio erupted in laughter. Furthermore, Akshay, known for his impeccable comic timing, turned to the audience and joked,
“Zinda honi chahiye matlab kya? Yeh aap log hi bataiye… kabhi aapne dekha hai koi ladka laash se shaadi karta hai?”
A Perfect Blend of Nostalgia and Spontaneous Humour
