In a lighthearted moment on Wheel of Fortune India, Bollywood star Akshay Kumar took a nostalgic trip down memory lane, sharing a hilarious story from his college days that left everyone in splits. The actor candidly opened up about a youthful crush and how his grand romantic gesture hilariously backfired.
Recalling the incident, Akshay said that around 40 years ago, during his college days, he was deeply fond of a girl and wanted to impress her in a dramatic fashion. “About 40 years ago, when I was in college, I was very fond of a girl. I learned a song for her, and I had a friend who knew how to play the guitar. I went outside her house and sang while he played the guitar,” he shared.
