Wheel of Fortune: Akshay Kumar Backs Women’s Football While Calling Out Men’s ‘On-Field Drama’

Host Akshay Kumar, who created his own athletic discipline, met professional football defender Dalima. Akshay used the platform to showcase women athletes' determination while he delivered a brilliantly funny analysis of the acting abilities that male football players display on Wheel of Fortune.

While Dalima explained her professional football defender career to Akshay, he admitted that he watches both men's and women's football matches. He observed that men and women demonstrate opposite approaches to managing their injuries. When Akshay spoke about male players who become overly theatrical over minor injuries he explained that "itni acting karte hain! Thodi si scratch lagti hai aur aise girte hain jaise pata nahi kya ho gaya. Lagi nahi hoti hai unko, lekin aisi lagne ki acting karte hain, my god!.”

Akshay used the opportunity to provide humorous wedding guidance to Dalima's husband who attended the event to support his wife. Akshay explained that Dalima works as a professional defender at her job while her husband serves as her home protector. The couple and audience members laughed at the remark which combined Dalila's job as a professional with a humorous view of home responsibilities.

The episode reached its most exciting moment through the exchange which demonstrated Akshay's deep admiration for the mental and physical strength women athletes display in sports. The wheel demonstrated that defenders occupy the most important role in both football and life.
