Bhumi Pednekar Reveals How She Manifested Working with Akshay Kumar as a Child

27th April 2026, Mumbai: In the upcoming episode of Wheel of Fortune, recalling her childhood, Bhumi Pednekar shared a heartfelt anecdote about how she manifested her dream of working with Akshay Kumar.

Recalling the moment, Bhumi said, “Main aapko ek anecdote batana chahti hoon jo maine aapko pichhle 10 saalon se nahi bataya hai. Jab main 10–12 saal ki thi, mere saamne wali underconstruction building mein shooting ho rahi thi.” She added, “Mujhe yaad hai aapka ek stunt bike se seedhiyon par upar ja rahe the.” Akshay quickly responded, “Picture ka naam ‘Insaaf’ hai, aur heroine thi Shilpa Shetty.”

Bhumi continued, “Tab maine wahi khade hoke manifest kiya tha ki main actor banna chahti hoon, aur kaash mujhe kabhi aapke saath kaam karne ka mauka mile.” She concluded and said, “Aur woh mauka mujhe ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’ mein mil gaya.”

The moment beautifully highlighted Bhumi’s journey from a young dreamer to sharing screen space with the actor she once admired from afar.
