Akshay Kumar recalls being beaten up by his school teacher

Akshay Kumar shares a childhood memory of being beaten by his teacher, Pandey Sir, and reflects on feeling under-educated compared to others.

"Pandey sir ki ek aadat thi... main kaafi badmash tha, aur voh maarne se pehle sochte nahi the. - Akshay Kumar"

Mumbai, April 22

The latest episode of the quiz reality show Wheels of Fortune witnessed host Akshay Kumar talking about being beaten up by his school teacher during his school days.

The actor was initially seen interacting with contestants Niyat, Snehan, and Nisheta, when Snehan mentioned that Akshay and him shared the same tuition teacher, and belonged to the same school.

He said, "Sir, maine vahi school ke tuition teacher ke saath padhai kiya jisne aapko sikhaya hai...Pandey sir."

The revelation prompted Akshay to reminisce about his late teacher, Pandey Sir.

Akshay stated, "Yeh jinke baare mein bol raha hain, voh mere bhi teacher reh chuke hain, unka naam Pandey sir tha. Pandey sir ki ek aadat thi unke hath mein hamesha ek stick hoti thi hume padate vakt, aur main kaafi badmash tha, aur voh maarne se pehle sochte nahi the. Lekin kuch bhi ho, Pandey sir se kaafi kuch sikha hain maine bhale voh abhi nahi rahe."

Earlier in an episode of Wheels of Fortune, Akshay had spoken about how he sometimes feels very small in front of those people who have attained great education and hold multiple educational degrees.

He had shared, "Koi bhi insaan, khaaskar mujh jaisa jo zyada padha likha nahi hai, main kabhi kabhi bahut chhota mehsoos karta hoon aap jaise logon ke saamne."

He added, "Kabhi kabhi main sochta hoon mujhe padhna chahiye. Ab mehsoos hota hai ki kaash main padha hota. Lekin ab jab padhna chahta hoon tab bhi nahi padh sakta, kyunki mujhe padhna achha hi nahi lagta, bas itni si baat hai."

While I understand it was a different time, corporal punishment in schools is a serious issue and shouldn't be romanticized. Glad times are changing, even if the memories are shared fondly.

His honesty about feeling "chhota" in front of highly educated people is so heartfelt. It shows a different, vulnerable side to a superstar. Success isn't just about degrees, but his humility is admirable.

"Mujhe padhna achha hi nahi lagta" – This line hits home for so many of us! The education system isn't for everyone. Look where he is now without formal degrees. Talent and hard work matter too, yaar.

My father had similar stories about his teachers in a small town school. That generation believed in "spare the rod, spoil the child". Different times indeed. But Akshay's success story is truly inspirational for all students who struggle with traditional academics.
