Akshay Kumar recalls what he did when he liked a girl in college: 'All her neighbours beat me up'

Akshay is currently seen hosting the popular game show Wheel of Fortune, where he often shares interesting stories from his personal and professional journey. In a recent episode, he spoke openly about his college crush — something he had never discussed on television before.

The topic came up after a contestant named Adarsh recited a shayari, sparking a debate about whether men genuinely put in the right efforts to impress women. While one contestant argued that men should make efforts but often don’t do it properly, the conversation reminded Akshay of his own college days.




Taking a trip down memory lane, Akshay shared, “I remember, I am talking about my time. About 40 years ago when I was in college. At that time, I really liked a girl. I learned a song for her and I had a friend who knew how to play the guitar. I am honestly saying this, I went outside that girl’s house and sang, and my friend was playing the guitar. I sang the song, and after that do you know what happened?”

After pausing briefly for dramatic effect, he continued with a laugh, “All her neighbours beat me up. Both of us got beaten. Even too much effort can lead to a beating.” His light-hearted confession left the audience both shocked and entertained.

Akshay has been married to Twinkle Khanna since the last 25 years and they have two children, Aarav Bhatia and Nitara. Get the latest entertainment updates from the Times of India, along with the latest Hindi movies, upcoming Hindi movies in 2026 , and Telugu movies.”
