Akshay Kumar reveals he failed in school three times

Bollywood star Akshay Kumar shocks fans, admitting he failed in school three times and shares hilarious banter with his childhood best friend.

"Hum log KG se 9th grade ke beech mein hum log teen-teen baar fail hue hain - Akshay Kumar"

Mumbai, April 9

In a rare and unfiltered moment, Bollywood superstar and quiz reality show Wheel of Fortune host Akshay Kumar introduced his childhood best friend from his school days who was seated in the live audience.

Akshay took a trip down memory lane to his days at school, further revealing that before he was the superstar of Bollywood, he was a backbencher who struggled to clear his exams, and that he had failed thrice in school.

While interacting with the contestants, Akshay pointed out his friend Jinesh in the audience, revealing that their bond dates back to kindergarten.

The superstar shocked the audience by admitting "Hum log KG se saath mein hain aur KG se 9th grade ke beech mein hum log teen-teen baar fail hue hain".

When Akshay playfully grilled Jinesh on why he kept on failing, his friend had a quick defence to it and responded to the audience by saying "Main aapke saath time spend karta tha, uski wajah se!."

The banter escalated when Akshay revealed Jinesh's childhood hobby which was to ride his cycle around the town just to catch a glimpse of girls.

Not one to take it lying down, Jinesh pointed right at Akshay and asked the audience "Kya lagta hain, main dekhta tha ya yeh."

Akshay has always stated that he is in touch with all of his good friends from his childhood days.

A few years ago on the comedy show The Kapil Sharma Show, Akshay Kumar had invited his friends from the same residential society that he stayed in while growing up.

The actor who was raised in Mumbai, is also a martial art professional and also has worked as a chef in Thailand.

The actor returned to Mumbai to fulfill his dream of becoming an actor and over a span of 30 years of efforts, has attained superstardom.

It's heartwarming to see he's still friends with people from kindergarten. In today's fast-paced Bollywood, that's rare. The banter about cycling to see girls is classic schoolboy stuff! 😂

While his journey is inspiring, I hope young students don't take the wrong message. For every Akshay Kumar, there are thousands who need a good education as a foundation. His success came from immense discipline later in life, not from failing in school.

"Main aapke saath time spend karta tha" – Jinesh's reply is peak Indian friendship goals! 🤣 We've all had that one friend we blamed for our marks. Salute to their 30+ years of friendship.

Chef in Thailand, martial artist, superstar. His life is literally a movie script. It shows how diverse experiences shape a person, not just classroom learning. Our education system needs to recognize different types of intelligence.

As a teacher, I find this narrative a bit double-edged. Yes, it's motivational, but we must also value academic effort. Not every child can be a Bollywood star. The key takeaway should be resilience, not glorifying failure.
