Akshay Kumar Failed Three Times In School

MUMBAI -In an unfiltered moment, quiz reality show ‘Wheel of Fortune’ host Akshay Kumar introduced his friend from his school days.

He said that before he was the superstar of Bollywood, he was a backbencher who struggled to clear his exams and had failed thrice in school.

While interacting with the contestants, Akshay pointed out his friend Jinesh in the audience, revealing that their bond dates back to kindergarten.

The superstar shocked the audience by admitting, “Hum log KG se saath mein hain aur KG se 9th grade ke beech mein hum log teen-teen baar fail hue hain”.

When Akshay playfully grilled Jinesh on why he kept failing, his friend had a quick defence and responded to the audience by saying, “Main aapke saath time spend karta tha, uski wajah se!”.

The banter escalated when Akshay revealed Jinesh’s childhood hobby, which was to ride his cycle around the town just to catch a glimpse of girls.

Akshay has always stated that he is in touch with all of his good friends from his childhood days.

A few years ago, on another show, Akshay Kumar had invited his friends from the same residential society that he stayed in while growing up.

The actor, who was raised in Mumbai, is also a martial arts professional and has worked as a chef in Thailand.

He returned to Mumbai to fulfill his dream of becoming an actor. (IANS)
