Akshay Kumar asks Karan Wahi about his love life

Before the game proceeded to the Double Dhamaka round, Akshay Kumar turned to Karan Wahi and asked, "tu party karta hai?" Karan replied that he does sometimes. Akshay then continued jokingly, "kitni baar din mein karta hai? Matlab main teko puch raha hoon, shaadi kab karega aur party kab dega?" Karan laughed and said he would do it, but only after his friend gets married first.

Akshay then asked if there was someone special in his life. Karan shared a funny story about trying to impress a girl using a pick-up line that unfortunately didn't work. The line was, "Samosa ke saath milti hai chutney, will you be my patni?"

Karan revealed that the pick-up line was actually suggested by Maniesh Paul and jokingly blamed him for the rejection. Akshay quickly added, "Waise main maan sakta hoon ki itni ghatiya line toh Maniesh hi de sakta hai."

Akshay Kumar gives a challenge to fans

Akshay then asked the audience who believed that the line was indeed given by Maniesh, and almost everyone in the audience raised their hands in agreement. Continuing the fun, Akshay asked the audience, "Aap logon ne iski film dekhi hai, ‘Mickey Virus'?" He mentioned that he still remembers a pick-up line from the film that Maniesh considered romantic. Akshay then recited the line, "Meri kismat se tu mujhe mili miss, mutual funds are subject to market risk." The line had everyone in the audience laughing.

The fun didn't stop there. Akshay then asked Karan, "Hum tere liye koi ladki dekhe?" and turned to the audience asking if anyone would like to marry Karan. A girl in the audience named Hitanshi stood up and said that she has a huge crush on Karan Wahi and would do anything for him.

Akshay then challenged her to drink a giant glass of ‘ganne ka juice' in one go, saying that if she completed the challenge, Karan would have to go shirtless. Hitanshi accepted the challenge and successfully finished the entire glass in one go, earning loud cheers from the audience.

As the challenge was completed, Akshay asked Karan to take off his shirt. Karan, feeling shy, tried to avoid it and said that instead he would give Hitanshi a hug. However, Akshay kept insisting, after which Karan finally gave a quick peek of his abs.

In the end, Hitanshi happily agreed to the hug instead, and Karan walked up to her and gave her a warm hug, making a memorable highlight of the episode.

Moments like these added to the lively atmosphere of the episode, blending humor, spontaneity, and audience participation. With Akshay Kumar's quick wit and the contestants' spirited responses, the episode delivered an engaging mix of entertainment and fun.
