Wheel of Fortune X Shark Tank India
At a time when content consumption is fragmented and audiences are overwhelmed with choices, Wheel of Fortune is bringing back the magic of appointment viewing. The show isn’t just another game format, it’s becoming an entertainment event that families tune into together.
By blending nostalgia with fresh celebrity crossovers, spontaneous banter and unpredictable moments, Wheel of Fortune has created a format that feels both familiar and exciting. Special episodes, like the Shark Tank India Special, where Aman Gupta, Anupam Mittal and Namita Thapar stepped onto the stage alongside super host Akshay Kumar, have amplified curiosity-led viewing and sparked real watercooler conversations.
And it was during this very special episode that the show delivered one of its most powerful and talked-about moments. During a fun rapid-fire segment, Shark Aman asked Akshay, “What has been your most ‘Gajab Beizzati ’ moment?” What followed surprised everyone. Instead of offering a witty or diplomatic answer, Akshay chose vulnerability.
He recalled an incident from years ago when he was attending a large event with one of his closest friends. An argument broke out, and someone began repeatedly abusing his friend. “He abused once , I told him not to. He did it again. Then a third time. I kept warning him four or five times, but he just wouldn’t stop,” Akshay shared.
Actually, it was deeply personal. Someone had used extremely filthy language against his friend. Unable to tolerate the repeated insult, Akshay got involved. In the heat of the moment, he slapped the person, who unfortunately went unconscious. “It was a very big party,” he revealed. “My friend had actually started crying because it was extremely embarrassing for him.”
What followed was panic. For a brief moment, Akshay genuinely felt like his career was over. “We poured water on him, and I was praying that he would regain consciousness. Oh my God,” he admitted. Thankfully, after some tense moments, the person regained consciousness, a moment that felt nothing short of a miracle.
Looking back today, Akshay acknowledged it as a mistake. “Had it been today, I would never react like that,” he said candidly. “For me, that was the real ‘Gajab Beizzati’ moment, something I would want to change if I could. Today, I would simply walk away.”
What began as a light-hearted spin-of-the-wheel moment became one of the episode’s defining highlights, not because of drama, but because of honesty.
In an era driven by viral snippets and surface-level entertainment, Wheel of Fortune delivered something deeper: a reminder that even superstars evolve. That strength lies in reflection. And that sometimes, the biggest win is choosing restraint. It’s moments like these that are not just changing how audiences watch, but why they watch.
