Akshay Kumar’s School Days: Failing and Funny Memories with Friends

Bollywood star Akshay Kumar recently opened up about his mischievous school days while appearing on the show Wheel of Fortune. He introduced his childhood friend Jinesh from the audience and reminisced about their time together, revealing that they both flunked three times from kindergarten to Class 9.

During the interaction, Akshay humorously noted, “We’ve been together since kindergarten, and between KG and 9th grade, we failed three times.” When Akshay asked Jinesh why he kept failing, his friend responded with a laugh, “Because I used to spend time with you!”

The banter continued as Akshay mentioned Jinesh’s fondness for cycling around town to catch glimpses of girls. Jinesh quickly shot back, questioning, “Who do you think was really looking at the girls, me or him?” This playful exchange had the audience in stitches.
