Nostalgia takes centre stage on the upcoming episode of ‘Wheel of Fortune’ as Akshay Kumar and Karisma Kapoor recreate the magic of their iconic 1997 film ‘Dil Toh Pagal Hai’, delivering a moment that blends warmth, humour and timeless Bollywood charm.
The episode, which brings together Karisma Kapoor, Mouni Roy and Anu Malik on the same stage, sees the stars reminiscing about films and friendships that have defined decades. In a light-hearted exchange, Mouni Roy imagines an alternate ending where Ajay and Nisha from ‘Dil Toh Pagal Hai’ ended up together, prompting Akshay Kumar to quip with a smile, “Nisha toh Rahul ke paas chali gayi,” instantly setting the tone for an evening steeped in fond memories.
As the banter continued, Akshay and Karisma surprised everyone by breaking into an impromptu performance of the film’s evergreen title track. The spontaneous moment drew loud cheers from the audience and served as a reminder of the effortless chemistry that made the duo so memorable on screen. Their camaraderie carried through the episode, making nostalgia feel fresh rather than rehearsed.
The emotional highlight came when Akshay Kumar addressed Karisma with heartfelt sincerity, calling her his first heroine and recalling how his first film and first song were with her. “I want to tell you how beautiful you are,” he said, to which Karisma responded with a warm and gracious “Thank you,” drawing applause from the set.
Adding to the celebration, the duo revisited another classic, ‘Deedar Ho Gaya Mujhko Pyaar Ho Gaya’, marking 34 years of the film ‘Deedar’. The performance further delighted fans and reinforced why their on-screen pairing continues to hold a special place in popular culture.
With high-energy gameplay, musical throwbacks and candid conversations, the episode strikes a fine balance between competition and celebration. Hosted by Akshay Kumar, ‘Wheel of Fortune’ airs every Monday to Friday at 9 pm on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV, promising viewers an evening where Bollywood nostalgia meets prime-time entertainment.
