Akshay Kumar recently spoke candidly on the ongoing reality show Wheel of Fortune, which he hosts. Introducing a childhood acquaintance from the audience, he confessed that he failed three times between Kindergarten and ninth grade.
What's Happening?
Akshay Kumar introduced his friend Jinesh as he reflected on their connection.
Akshay recalled being a backbencher and his struggles to pass exams, saying, "Hum log KG se saath mein hain aur KG se 9th grade ke beech mein hum log teen-teen baar fail hue hain."
In a playful question to his friend Jinesh about why he failed, he added, "Main aapke saath time spend karta tha, uski wajah se!"Work
On the job front, Akshay Kumar is preparing for the release of Priyadarshan's Bhooth Bangla, alongside Wamiqa Gabbi, Tabu, Paresh Rawal, and Rajpal Yadav.
The trailer depicts Akshay Kumar insisting on marrying at Mangalpur's haunted mansion, which has been cursed by Vadhusur for years.
While all of the other characters are consistent with Priyadarshan's concept, Tabu appears to be the link between the human and spirit worlds.

The film, which was originally scheduled to be released on May 15, 2026, will now be released earlier, on April 16.
The release date was moved back to April 16 due to the Dhurandhar phenomenon at the box office.
Akshay Kumar and Priyadarshan last worked together on Khatta Meetha in 2010.
Akshay Kumar, Shobha Kapoor, and Ektaa R. Kapoor produce Bhooth Bangla, which is presented by Balaji Motion Pictures (a branch of Balaji Telefilms Ltd.) in association with Cape of Good Films.
