Known for his legendary discipline and “early to bed, early to rise” lifestyle, the host of the show, Akshay Kumar, brought his health crusade on Wheel of Fortune. In a hilarious yet firm intervention, Akshay challenged contestant Sahil, hailing from Sarangpur (U.P ), who is a film director by profession and a self-proclaimed foodie, to a life-changing fitness vow right in front of millions of viewers.
Akshay challenges a contestant to have dinner early
The segment kicked off when Sahil solved a puzzle based on the category of food, and he could sense Sahil’s deep passion for exploring various cuisines. Akshay, on a curious note, asked him, “Sahil, jaise tu yaha iss show mein sabke paise khaa raha hain vaise heen, agar tujhe mein aise alag-alag type ka khana dunga toh tu khayega?” Sahil confidently responds to Akshay by stating, “Sir mujhe itna farak nahi padta main starters bhi main course jaise khata hoon aur jaise main, itne paise kama raha hoon toh main paise khana pasand karuga.”
Akshay, considering Sahil’s statement, challenges him on national television by saying, “Thik hain Sahil, agar tu aage aur paise kamayega toh aaj tu national television pe bolega ki tu 6:30 shaam ke baad khana nahi khauga.” Sahil promises Akshay that if he reaches the bonus round, he won`t consume any food after 6:30 in the evening.
Akshay extolls the virtues of having an early dinner
Akshay tells the audience, “Majaak nahi kar raha lekin iske ache ke liye bol raha hoon, humare shastron mein likha hain ki suraj dhalne ke baad ghar ka stove bandh kar do kyuki peth ka stove bandh ho chuka hain.”
After sharing such an important health fact with the audience, Akshay pointed out that the reason he came up with this topic is that he cares for Sahil’s well-being and advises him to keep monitoring the kind of food he is consuming on a daily basis.
Knowing Sahil is a foodie by nature, he continues the conversation by coming up with a witty punchline. “Main jaanta hoon teri wife ne tere liye diet chart banaya hain aur tu shaam ke baad khaana nahi khayega yeh bhi tune sabke samne bol diya hain, lekin iska matalab yeh nahi ki tu dopahar ko saara kitchen khajayega.”
The remark left the audience and Sahil in splits, perfectly balancing Akshay’s serious stance on health with the light-hearted spirit of the show.
Watch Wheel of Fortune, Monday to Friday at 9:00 PM only on Sony Entertainment Television and stream on Sony LIV.
