In the glamorous yet chaotic world of Bollywood, Akshay Kumar stands out as the punctuality king, a reputation that’s now hilariously haunting his colleagues’ spouses. The forthcoming ‘Wheel of Fortune India’ episode featuring Bollywood Wives has unearthed side-splitting stories from Bhavna Pandey and Neelam Kothari about the ‘Khiladi’ star’s time obsession.
Bhavna Pandey kicked off the laughter with her take on time zones. ‘Forget Indian Stretchable Time; Akshay operates on his own clock,’ she joked during the show on Sony LIV. Her personal battle unfolded during a film shoot where Akshay’s call time coincided with her morning routine. Eager to outdo him, Bhavna barely slept, racing to the location only to find Akshay already there, impeccably prepared.
‘The entire night, I was wired with worry, thinking I’d finally beat him. Spoiler: I didn’t,’ Bhavna confessed, her anecdote resonating with anyone who’s faced the pressure of perfection. This isn’t mere discipline; it’s Akshay’s way of life that influences everyone around him.
Neelam Kothari then dropped her bombshell. As owner of a popular jewelry boutique, she was stunned when Akshay arrived bang on 9 AM sharp. ‘I was at home, totally unprepared. Seeing him there made me both embarrassed and amused. I had to blurt out, ‘9 AM for jewelry shopping? Really?” she recalled with a chuckle.
Aired on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV, this episode peels back the curtain on Bollywood’s real dynamics. Akshay’s punctuality challenges the status quo, inspiring awe and anxiety in equal measure. As these stars share their vulnerabilities, it reminds us that even superstars like Akshay demand excellence from dawn till dusk.
