Amidst the glitz of Bollywood, Akshay Kumar remains endearingly human, as evidenced by his recent TV appearance on ‘Wheel of Fortune.’ Hosting the quiz sensation, Akshay faced a personal question from contestant Namita: What’s the one wish still unfulfilled in your life?
His response was poignant: ‘I yearn to spend more quality time with my family. Though I set aside about 120 days each year for them from my 365-day schedule, it’s just not enough. I constantly juggle to ensure those irreplaceable moments happen despite my demanding career.’
This comes as Akshay gears up for ‘Bhooth Bangla,’ a genre-bending horror-comedy reuniting him with director Priyadarshan after 14 fruitful years. Their hit parade includes ‘Hera Pheri,’ ‘Garam Masala,’ ‘Bhagam Bhag,’ ‘De Dana Dan,’ ‘Bhool Bhulaiyaa,’ and ‘Khatta Meetha,’ setting a high bar for the new flick.
With co-stars like Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, and Vamika Gabbie, the film is locked for April 10 cinematic debut, with audiences anticipating magic.
Akshay’s personal story adds depth: Wed to Twinkle Khanna in 2001, parents to Aarav (2002) and Nitara (2012), he exemplifies work-life balance in Tinseltown. This heartfelt confession not only humanizes the star but also spotlights the universal pull of family bonds.
