Akshay Kumar indulges in fun banter with Chunky Pandey leaving everyone in splits: 'Jahan baat hui dhan ki, waha nikle chunky'

Akshay Kumar recently left audiences in splits during a television appearance that turned into a full-blown reunion with his Bollywood friends and co-stars. The actor shared fun moments with Chunky Pandey, Gulshan Grover, Shakti Kapoor, Riteish Deshmukh, Genelia D’Souza, and Shreyas Talpade, making the episode a laughter-packed affair. The banter unfolded on Sony TV’s popular game show ‘Wheel of Fortune’, which Akshay Kumar is currently hosting.

In the latest promotional clip released by Sony Entertainment Television, Akshay Kumar is seen teasing Chunky Pandey in his signature comic style. Taking a light-hearted dig at his longtime friend, Akshay jokes about Chunky’s reputation for showing up wherever money is involved. Reacting instantly, Chunky says, “Kya? Kisne paisa bola? Kitne kitne kitne… paisa jaha Chunky waha!" (What? Who mentioned money? How much, how much, how much… where there’s money, Chunky is there!)

Akshay Kumar’s sharp one-liners

Not missing a beat, Akshay fires back with, “Jahan baat hui dhan ki, waha nikle Chunky!" (Wherever there’s talk of money, Chunky makes an appearance!). He then adds another punchline that sends everyone into fits of laughter, saying, “Main aap logon ko batana chahta hoon ki Chunky ke aane ke baad humare Wheel ka jo saap hai, woh bhi apne aap ko surakshit nahi samajh raha. Kyunki agar saap ne paisa nigal liya… toh Chunky saap ko bhi nikaal lega!"(I want to tell you all that ever since Chunky arrived, even the snake on our Wheel doesn’t feel safe because if the snake swallows the money… Chunky will pull it out of the snake too!)

Chunky Panday's comeback and Akshay Kumar's final word

Enjoying the banter, Chunky Pandey shoots back with a cheeky question, “agar tujhe Chunky dikhe ya saap dikhe, tu pehle kisko maarega?"(If you see Chunky or a snake, whom will you hit first?). Akshay Kumar responds without any hesitation, “Obviously, Chunky ko!"(Obviously, Chunky!)

The upcoming episode will feature Chunky Pandey alongside Gulshan Grover and the original comic favourite Shakti Kapoor, bringing strong nostalgia to the screen. The show will also later see appearances by Riteish Deshmukh, Genelia D’Souza, and Shreyas Talpade.
