What began as a simple mention of language on Wheel of Fortune soon led to a pleasant and memorable exchange between Akshay Kumar and contestants Vidhi Bharani, Riwaj Ghimire, and Nilam Rajput.During a casual interaction, contestant Vidhi mentioned that she is Sindhi. The moment Akshay Kumar heard that, he instantly said, “Mujhe Sindhi bahut hi pyaari bhasha lagti hai.”This followed as he shared a funny story about how he once called his Sindhi friend at home. When his friend’s mother answered the phone and he asked if his friend was there, she replied, “Soo ya pada hai, uthaun uss ko.” For a second, Akshay misheard it as “mara pada hai,” which left him completely shocked. This left the audience laughing out loud as Akshay reenacted the moment.Adding to it, Akshay revealed that his mother knew Sindhi very well and most of her close friends were Sindhi. He revealed that his mother would often play cards with them. As he spoke about those memories, the tone turned warm and heartfelt.The mood turned sweeter when Vidhi asked Akshay Kumar if she could say something in Sindhi. She then said, “Mokhe taam se jaam pyaar aa,” and explained that it meant ‘I love you.’Not one to miss a chance to keep the fun alive, Akshay turned to a lady in the audience and asked her to say “I love you” in Marwadi. When she adorably fumbled, Akshay teased that it seemed she didn’t say it very often, bringing the house down with laughter.
