Iqbal Khan shares childhood memory inspired by Khiladi
The conversation soon turned nostalgic when Iqbal Khan spoke about his childhood admiration for Akshay Kumar. He shared that he and his friends were big fans of Akshay’s 1992 action film Khiladi.
Iqbal recalled a particular stunt from the climax of the film. In the scene, Akshay Kumar jumps over an Ambassador car and performs powerful kicks. The stunt impressed many young viewers at the time.
Iqbal said that he and the boys in his colony tried to recreate the stunt for fun. Since they had no cameras or professional setup, they used simple tricks. They placed a stool behind a car, climbed on it and attempted to copy the jump and kicks.
He admitted that while they could manage the kicking part, they could never perform the entire stunt exactly the way Akshay Kumar did in the film.
Karan Wahi talks about their strong friendship
The episode also showed the strong friendship between Iqbal Khan, Maniesh Paul and Karan Wahi. Karan shared a lighthearted story about their group dynamic.
He said that in every group of friends there is usually one person who stays calm and responsible while the others behave playfully. In their group, that role belongs to Iqbal Khan.
Karan joked that whenever he and Maniesh start their usual mischief, Iqbal becomes the sensible one who manages the situation.
Yaadein builds excitement before its TV premiere
Iqbal Khan’s appearance on Wheel of Fortune was part of the promotion for his upcoming show Yaadein on Sony SAB. The medical drama has been gaining attention even before its release.
By sharing personal memories and fun stories on the game show, the actors gave viewers a more personal look at their friendships and inspirations. Iqbal’s childhood story about copying Akshay Kumar’s Khiladi stunt added a nostalgic moment to the episode and reminded many viewers of the impact Bollywood action films had on young fans growing up.
