After Modi And Mangoes, Akshay Kumar Moves On To Fadnavis And Oranges

MUMBAI -At the recent FICCI Frames 2025 event, Akshay Kumar took a playful dig at those who had mocked him for asking Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a previous interview about how he eats mangoes.

Back in 2019, the ‘Airlift’ actor grabbed headlines when he asked Modi how he eats mangoes during an interview—a question that quickly went viral, sparking memes and online jokes against the actor. Revisiting that playful moment, Akshay asked Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis a similar question, this time about his preference for oranges.

He asked, “You are from Nagpur, and Nagpur is famous for its oranges. I want to ask you—do you like oranges?”

Fadnavis said “yes,” after which Akshay asked if he likes to eat oranges by peeling them or drink them as juice. The CM then shared his unique way of enjoying oranges: cutting them into halves, sprinkling a little salt, and eating them like a mango. Devendra jokingly said, “Only OG people know this style of eating an orange.”

The 58-year-old actor laughed and added, “I have learnt a new thing today and I am surely going to try this.” (IANS)
