Mumbai, April 7 – Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar recently reminisced about his past with two fans who appeared on his quiz reality show, "Wheel of Fortune."
In a surprising turn of events, the fans revealed that they had met the superstar back in the 2000s when he was still building his career.
The reminiscing began with Neetu, who shared a heartwarming story from her school days in Rajasthan. She recalled being in the 9th grade when she saw Akshay filming a movie decades ago.
She revealed that Akshay had noticed her and her friends in the crowd, was thrilled to see him, and personally invited them to get autographs.
She said, "You called us girls from afar, you gave us autographs, I don't know where I got that autograph later, so I want you to give me another autograph from your hands today."
Akshay was visibly amused, realizing just how much time had passed since that Rajasthan schedule.
The reminiscing continued with another contestant, Andell, who shared his own experience meeting Akshay.
He revealed that he had met Akshay during the filming of the 1997 hit movie, "Aflatoon," at Mumbai's iconic Marine Drive, and that he was only in the 5th grade at the time.
After hearing these stories from the contestants, Akshay encouraged them to get age verification.
"Today, I feel like it's my time to be respectful, I need to show my age."

Over the years, he has delivered numerous superhit films, including "Hera Pheri," "Bhool Bhulaiyaa," "Khiladi," "Housefull," and many more.
