Mumbai, March 30 – Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar revisited his childhood, mentioning how he once saw the late superstar Rajesh Khanna as a child, stating that he little knew he would become the superstar’s son-in-law in the years to come.
The recent episode of Wheel of Fortune witnessed a heartfelt moment filled with wisdom as Akshay, who is currently hosting the show, shared an inspiring perspective on life, destiny, and self-belief.
The Khiladi offered Bollywood a powerful and personal insight, saying that he does not believe in the concept of being “out of someone’s league.”
He further fondly recalled his childhood, sharing, “I still remember that—when I was young, my father and mother would take me on Carter Road and Bandstand on their shoulders. I am telling the truth. And at that time, Rajesh Khanna’s car would come, but he wasn't my father-in-law then, he was Rajesh Khanna.”
He added, “We only saw him from afar. Did anyone ever think that I would marry his daughter?” which he never imagined back then.
The superstar shared his story when contestant Stuti candidly spoke about feeling that certain people are “out of her league.”
In a lighthearted moment, she went on to reveal that Shah Rukh Khan had always been her crush and joked that when he married Gauri Khan, it broke her heart. She added, “Later on, it's fine, Shah Rukh Khan is okay. But Aryan Khan is even better.”
Through his own anecdote, Akshay emphasized that nothing is truly out of reach.
He reassured Stuti that everything aligns in life as per destiny and that one should never limit themselves by believing something is beyond their league.
In his signature witty style, he also added that one never knows she could even end up marrying the son of Donald Trump, highlighting how unpredictable life can be.
For the uninitiated, Akshay Kumar is married to Twinkle Khanna, who is the daughter of late superstar Rajesh Khanna and actress Dimple Kapadia.
The couple, who reportedly fell in love on the sets of their movie International Khiladi, tied the knot in January 2001.
