In a recent promotional video for the upcoming game show "Wheel of Fortune," host Akshay Kumar playfully teased actor Chunky Panday about his perceived money-mindedness. The rib-tickling banter between the two actors has been making waves, showcasing their comedic chemistry and long-standing friendship.
Kumar, known for his quick wit and humor, didn't hold back as he jokingly accused Panday of being drawn to money. In a hilarious statement, Kumar quipped, "Paisa jaha Chunky waha," meaning "Wherever there is money, Chunky will be there". He further added, with a touch of exaggeration, that Panday would even try to extract cash from the snake symbol on the "Wheel of Fortune" set.
The promo video captures Panday in his element, playing up his signature comedic persona. He responds to Kumar's teasing with his trademark humor, further fueling the light-hearted exchange. The promo has generated considerable buzz and anticipation for the premiere of "Wheel of Fortune," with fans eager to witness the camaraderie between Kumar and Panday, along with other celebrity guests.
This isn't the first time Akshay Kumar has humorously targeted Chunky Panday. On "The Kapil Sharma Show" in 2019, Kumar jokingly blamed Panday for his poor acting in his earlier films. He humorously stated that he learned acting from Panday and that the first 10 years of his career were filled with bad films until he stopped following Panday's acting advice.
Beyond the jokes, Akshay Kumar has also shared anecdotes highlighting Chunky Panday's business acumen. In one instance, Kumar recounted how Panday organized a show with Salman Khan in South Africa and cleverly negotiated a deal with a shop owner to get Salman to shop at his store. According to Kumar, Panday received $2000 from the shop owner for bringing Salman to the store.
The bond between Akshay Kumar and Chunky Panday goes back a long way. Chunky Panday recalled a prank by Akshay Kumar during the shooting of Housefull. They both attended the same acting school, where Panday was senior to Kumar. Panday has often spoken fondly of their shared experiences and the mutual respect they have for each other.
The "Wheel of Fortune" promo featuring Akshay Kumar and Chunky Panday has not only created excitement for the game show but also given fans a glimpse into the playful dynamic between these two Bollywood stars. Their ability to poke fun at each other while maintaining a strong sense of friendship has resonated with audiences.
