Mumbai’s entertainment scene is buzzing with tales of Akshay Kumar’s legendary punctuality, a trait that has left even Bollywood’s elite wives wide awake and on edge. In an upcoming special episode of ‘Wheel of Fortune India’, Bollywood Wives Bhavna Pandey and Neelam Kothari spilled the beans on how the action star’s obsession with time has turned their lives into a comedy of errors.
Akshay Kumar, known for his high-octane films and disciplined lifestyle, sets a bar that’s tough to match. Bhavna Pandey, wife of Chunky Pandey, shared a hilarious anecdote that had everyone in splits. ‘There’s IST – Indian Standard Time – and then there’s AKT – Akshay Kumar Time,’ she quipped, highlighting the stark contrast between Bollywood’s relaxed timing and Akshay’s precision.
Recounting her shoot day ordeal, Bhavna explained how she set her alarm extra early to beat Akshay to the set. ‘I left home at what felt like dawn, determined to impress him by arriving first. But there he was, already dressed, ready, and waiting,’ she laughed. The fear of being late kept her up all night, a testament to Akshay’s unwavering commitment to schedules.
Not to be outdone, Neelam Kothari, the 90s heartthrob turned jewelry designer, shared her own shocking encounter. ‘One morning at exactly 9 AM, Akshay showed up at my store. I was still at home! I panicked, rushed over, and jokingly asked, ‘Who comes to a jewelry store at 9 AM?” Her story painted a picture of Akshay’s no-nonsense approach that catches even friends off guard.
These revelations from the Sony Entertainment Television show underscore why Akshay remains a role model in an industry often criticized for tardiness. As Bollywood Wives gear up for their Wheel of Fortune appearance, fans are eager for more such candid moments that humanize their idols. Akshay’s punctuality isn’t just a habit; it’s a force that commands respect and a few sleepless nights.
