Akshay Kumar's reaction to Wheel of Fortune contestant naming Shah Rukh Khan her first love tickles fans: ‘Mere saamne…’

AHeart-to-heart minute in the in style(p) instalment of wheel around of Fortune quickly turned into a fun highlight after a contestant’s confession about Shah Rukh Khan caught host Akshay Kumar off guard. Calling SRK her “first love”, the participant shyly avoided eye contact, something Akshay was quick to notice and turn into a comic moment.Akshay Kumar reacts to the contestant calling Shah Rukh Khan her first loveThe contestant, named Stuti, quipped, “Mera pehla pyaar Shah Rukh Khan the” (Shah Rukh Khan was my first love). However, what caught Akshay’s attention was the way she shied away and avoided looking at him while saying it. He quickly joked, “Mujhe dekh ke kyun nahi bol rahi aap?” (Why aren’t you saying it while looking at me?)." Following this, Akshay went on to praise Shah Rukh and added, “Shah Rukh bahut hi badhiya actor hai, dikhne mein khoobsurat ladka hai aur usko like karna koi jurm nahi hai, aur mere saamne bolna toh bilkul bhi jurm nahi hai” (Shah Rukh is a very good actor and a handsome man too. It’s not a crime to like him, and certainly not a crime to say it in front of me). The audience could not stop laughing at his witty response.When the contestant further revealed that, as a child, she did not know Shah Rukh was married to Gauri Khan, and later shifted her crush to Aryan Khan after finding out, only to realise he was “out of her league”, Akshay kept the banter going. He joked that no one is out of anyone’s league and said she never knows — she might even end up marrying Donald Trump’s son.Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh Khan are two of Bollywood’s biggest stars.
