Farah Khan, Jacqueline Fernandez and Bhumi Pednekar join Akshay Kumar for Wheel Of Fortune grand finale episode
The promo, shared by Sony TV, opens with Akshay welcoming Farah and Bhumi to the show. Farah arrives with a quirky gift—a pressure cooker filled with cash, and jokes, “Ismein tere liye vohi laayi hoon jo tu khaata hai (I’ve brought exactly what you like).” As Akshay opens it, he breaks into a wide smile. Farah then recalls choreographing Bhumi and Ananya Panday, humorously calling them “Nanavati and Leelavati,” and adds, “Dono lagg rahe the hospital ki drip lagake dance kar rahe hain (It looked like both of them were dancing as if they were hooked up to hospital drips),” leaving Akshay in splits.
The fun continues with Akshay and Farah indulging in playful banter, joking about exposing each other’s past relationships and calling their films Tees Maar Khan and Joker pranks on one another.

However, the mood soon turns emotional when Bhumi reveals that the Wheel of Fortune team has prepared a special tribute for Akshay. The video montage features some of the show’s most memorable moments, accompanied by a touching message, “Kal se yeh manch nahi hoga, lekin aapki muskurahat yaad rahegi, aapki sharartien, nadaaniyan aur shaitaaniyan yaad rahengi. Aap yaad rahenge (From tomorrow, this stage will no longer be here, but your smile will be remembered, your mischief, innocence and playful antics will stay with us. You will be remembered).”
The tribute leaves Akshay teary-eyed, as he is seen stepping behind Farah to wipe his tears. Reflecting on his journey, the actor shares that the show has completed 65 episodes, with nearly 200 contestants taking part. He adds, “Mere mama bhi aaye hain, inhone ek bhi show miss nahi kiya. Mujhe batate hain, beta 9 baj jaata hai main dekhne aata hoon show (My maternal uncle is here too—he hasn’t missed a single episode. He tells me, ‘Beta, it turns 9 o’clock and I come to watch the show’). Thank you, India, for loving this show.”
