Even celebrities, despite their carefully curated public personas, are not spared from awkward and unexpected moments. The latest star to experience one such incident is Bollywood’s “Khiladi” Kumar, Akshay Kumar. A video that has been widely circulating on Instagram captures the actor in a mildly embarrassing yet amusing situation on the sets of his reality show, Wheel of Fortune, which he currently hosts.
In the viral clip, Akshay Kumar is seen deeply engaged in conversation with a group of people on the set. Dressed in a yellow floral-printed kurta paired with white pyjamas, brown shoes, sunglasses, and a watch, the actor appeared completely unaware of what was happening just behind him. As he chatted casually, a woman — seemingly a member of his staff — hurried toward him with a clear mission. Without interrupting the discussion or drawing attention, she swiftly snipped off a tag that was visibly hanging from the collar of his outfit.
The moment was handled with such efficiency that Akshay did not even realize what had happened. He continued his conversation without missing a beat. The staff member returned once more, this time gently adjusting and straightening his collar to ensure everything looked perfect before stepping out of the frame. The smoothness of the act, combined with the actor’s obliviousness, added a touch of humor to the situation, making the clip highly shareable across social media platforms.
The video was recorded on a special day on the sets of Wheel of Fortune, when veteran actor Anil Kapoor and actress Radhikka Madan visited the show. The duo appeared to promote their upcoming action drama, Subedaar. Their presence added glamour and excitement to the shoot, drawing considerable attention from fans and media alike.
Anil Kapoor was seen sporting an all-black kurta-pyjama ensemble, complemented by stylish sunglasses that enhanced his charismatic persona. Radhikka Madan, on the other hand, opted for a soft pastel-coloured saree paired with a matching blouse and elegant earrings. The trio — Akshay, Anil, and Radhikka — were later photographed together outside the set, smiling brightly as they posed for paparazzi. The cheerful pictures stood in contrast to the subtle behind-the-scenes wardrobe fix that had just taken place.
Subedaar, directed by Suresh Triveni, is scheduled to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on March 5. The film boasts a strong supporting cast that includes Saurabh Shukla, Aditya Rawal, Mona Singh, and Faisal Malik. With its action-packed narrative and seasoned performers, the project has generated considerable buzz ahead of its release.
Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar continues to juggle multiple professional commitments. Apart from hosting Wheel of Fortune, he is gearing up for the release of his horror-comedy film, Bhoot Bangla. The film is directed by Priyadarshan and is jointly produced by Akshay himself along with Ektaa Kapoor and Shobha Kapoor. Scheduled to hit theatres on April 10, the movie also features Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Asrani, and Manoj Joshi in pivotal roles.
Additionally, the 58-year-old star is set to appear in the multi-starrer film Welcome to the Jungle, further expanding his packed slate of releases. Known for his discipline and relentless work ethic, Akshay continues to remain one of Bollywood’s busiest actors.
While the wardrobe hiccup on set may have been a small and fleeting moment, it served as a charming reminder that even the biggest stars are human. Thanks to a quick-thinking staff member, what could have turned into a fashion faux pas became a lighthearted viral moment instead.
