Mumbai, Jan 24

Bollywood hunk Akshay Kumar has taken on the role as the host for the upcoming reality game show "Wheel Of Fortune".

Ahead of the premiere of the show on January 27, Akshay opened up about his idea of luck during an exclusive interaction with IANS.

Akshay revealed that according to him, fortune is a blend of effort, timing, and mindset.

He admitted that the distribution of luck amongst people is not always fair, but everyone gets an opportunity nevertheless.

The 'Airlift' actor was asked, "Why do you think fortune favours one person while it does not favour another. Do you really believe in the spiritual belief that a living being's fortune has something to do with past life?"

Reacting to this, Akshay shared, "I believe fortune is a very interesting mix of effort, timing, and mindset. Sometimes the reward is instant, and sometimes it tests your patience before rewarding you. Life isn't always fair in how it distributes luck, but it is fair in how everyone gets an opportunity."

Shedding further light on the essence of "Wheel Of Fortune", the 'Housefull' actor went on to add, "On Wheel of Fortune, you see it very clearly, in a single spin, someone can move from 1 Rupee to 1 crore. That's the beauty of the Wheel: it mirrors real life, where everything can change in a moment."

Akshay further added that according to him, fortune comes to everyone, but in different ways and at different times.

Talking about the spiritual side of the fortune, he shared, "I do believe that karma matters because luck alone is not enough. On Wheel of Fortune, the spin may give you the chance, but one's knowledge, presence of mind, and courage will help convert that chance into success."

"Wheel of Fortune" will air at 9:00 PM, Monday to Friday, only on Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV.

For the unaware, "Wheel of Fortune" has been honoured by Guinness World Records as the World's Most Popular TV Game Show. It has also received the Daytime Emmy Award for 'Outstanding Game Show'.

His journey itself is the best example. From a chef and martial arts teacher to a top Bollywood star. That wasn't just luck. It was years of discipline and seizing opportunities. More actors should talk about the hard work behind the glamour.

Respectfully, while I admire Akshay sir, I feel the "everyone gets an opportunity" line is a bit simplistic. The playing field in our country is not level for everyone. A person's background, connections, and resources create vastly different starting points. Luck feels more abundant for some.

Interesting perspective! The part about karma resonates. In the West, we often just say "luck," but the idea that your actions (knowledge, courage) determine what you do with luck is very insightful. The 1 Rupee to 1 crore analogy is powerful.

Perfect host for this show. He embodies the self-made success story. "Fortune comes to everyone, but in different ways and at different times" – this is such a hopeful message for young people struggling today. Patience is key. All the best for the premiere!

My father always says, "Mehnat ka fal meetha hota hai" (The fruit of hard work is sweet). Akshay Kumar's thoughts are just a modern version of that old wisdom. The timing part is so crucial – being ready when your chance comes. Excited to watch with family! 🎡
