Shakti Kapoor recalls strict director T Rama Rao
Setting the tone, Akshay asks Shakti, “Shakti ji, mujhe pata hai aap bahut saari movies karte the. Ek baar T Rama Rao ke set pe pahunche the tab aapse uthak-baithak karwayi thi… aisa kuch hua tha?”
Shakti responds with his trademark humour, saying, “Rama Rao ji was very close to me, but he was a very disciplined person like you,” referring to Akshay, before launching into the story. Recalling the incident, Shakti shares, “7 baje bola toh 7 baje. Main 7 baje ke bajay 7:15 pahucha. Zeenat Aman ji bhi aa chuki thi. Phir unhone poocha, ‘Shakti kaha hai?’”
What follows has everyone laughing as Shakti reenacts the moment, mimicking Rama Rao’s strict tone. He adds, “Maine sorry bola, toh unhone kaha, ‘No sorry 15 times sit-ups!’”
The studio erupts in laughter as Shakti’s animated narration lights up the mood, turning the moment into one of the funniest highlights on Wheel of Fortune.
