A Surprise School Connection
To begin with, contestants Niyat, Snehan, and Nisheta were engaged in a competitive puzzle round. However, the mood quickly shifted when Snehan, an event manager, revealed an unexpected connection.
Snehan shared that he studied at the same school as Akshay Kumar. Moreover, the connection became even more special when he mentioned they were taught by the same tuition teacher, Pandey Sir.
“Sir, maine vahi school ke tuition teacher ke saath padhai kiya jisne aapko sikhaya hai… Pandey sir,” Snehan said.
As a result, the revelation instantly sparked nostalgia on set.
Akshay Kumar Fondly Remembers Pandey Sir
Following the revelation, Akshay Kumar became visibly emotional while recalling his late teacher. He fondly spoke about Pandey Sir’s strict discipline and lasting influence.
“Yeh jinke baare mein bol raha hain, voh mere bhi teacher reh chuke hain… Pandey sir. Unke haath mein hamesha ek stick hoti thi. Main kaafi badmash tha aur voh maarne se pehle sochte nahi the. Lekin maine unse bahut kuch sikha,” Akshay shared.
Although the memories reflected strict discipline, Akshay spoke with deep respect and gratitude. Consequently, the heartfelt moment resonated strongly with viewers who recalled their own school experiences.

“Isko abhi koi bhi gaali nahi dega, kyunki yeh mere school ka hai,” he said.
Notably, this protective gesture added warmth to the episode and highlighted Akshay’s camaraderie.
A Nostalgic Episode Worth Watching
