A recent episode of Wheel of Fortune turned unexpectedly hilarious when host Akshay Kumar found himself caught in a playful exchange between a contestant and his wife.

The episode featured contestant Manav Khosla, who instantly grabbed attention with his cheerful energy. When Akshay asked him the secret behind his wide smile, Manav quipped, "Main khush isliye hoon kyunki main joru ka ghulam hoon," joking that he is happy because he listens to his wife Twinkle Khanna. The audience burst into laughter at his candid confession.

Akshay, known for his quick wit, decided to take the joke further. Spotting Manav's wife Mukta in the audience, he teased, "Yeh aapke gulam hain?" asking if her husband was truly her obedient servant. Mukta laughed and sweetly corrected him, saying her husband was not just her "ghulam" but also her "sirtaj," meaning her crown.

Just when everyone thought the banter had peaked, Mukta surprised the host and audience with a cheeky revelation. Describing her husband as a stylish dresser and a full-on party lover, she said he needed someone energetic to match his vibe. Then came the twist. Mukta playfully requested Akshay to help find a girlfriend for her husband.

Akshay Kumar's reaction to the demand

The unexpected comment left Akshay momentarily stunned. In mock disbelief, he exclaimed, "Mere kaan phat kyun nahi gaye? Dharti khul kyun nahi rahi, hum sama kyun nahi gaye!" His exaggerated reaction had the entire studio roaring with laughter.

Mukta continued the fun, telling the host, "Aapse nivedan hai, koi ho toh batayiye," requesting him to suggest someone suitable. Akshay, still in comic shock, shot back, "Main dhoondhu? Ab maine yeh kaam bhi shuru kar diya hai? Aap galat aadmi se pooch rahe ho!" making it clear that matchmaking was not part of his job description.

The lighthearted moment became the highlight of the episode, showcasing not only Akshay's impeccable comic timing but also the easy chemistry between the contestants and their families. What started as a simple question about happiness quickly turned into one of the most entertaining exchanges of the season, proving once again that sometimes the unscripted moments make for the best television.
