Akshay Kumar Recalls ‘Most Humiliating’ Moment That Nearly Ended His Career

The actor, currently hosting the reality show "Wheel of Fortune," had Aman Gupta, Anupam Mittal, and Namita Thapar accompany him on the stage for the special episode. In the course of the rapid fire round, the host, Akshay, was asked what had been the "most incredibly humiliating" moment of his life. The anecdote shared by the host left everyone present stunned.

During the rapid fire round, Aman Gupta asked Akshay Kumar, "What was your most humiliating moment?" Akshay recalled an incident from several years ago when he attended a large party with a very close friend.

He got into an argument with someone there, and the person began abusing his friend repeatedly. Akshay said, "He swore at me once, and I told him not to. But he still didn't listen and continued abusing despite my warnings. I got angry and slapped the person, causing him to faint."

Akshay said, "It was a big party... My friend actually started crying. I thought my career was over. We poured water on him, and I was praying that he would regain consciousness. Luckily, after a while, he regained consciousness. That moment felt like a miracle. If it had happened today, I would never have reacted like that." That was a truly humiliating moment for me, something I would change if I could. If something like that had happened today, I would have simply walked away.' This episode will stream on February 16 on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony Liv.
