Akshay Kumar is certainly one of the most famous stars of the preset times but not many know about this side of the actor. Known today as a Bollywood superstar & Khiladi of the industry, he shared a rare and unfiltered glimpse into his school life while hosting a game show and it left everyone surprised.
During the show, Akshay spotted his childhood best friend Jinesh sitting in the audience and couldn’t resist bringing him into the spotlight. What followed was a nostalgic and humorous trip down memory lane. Akshay revealed that their friendship goes all the way back to kindergarten, making it a bond of many years.
He openly admitted that he was not always a bright student. In fact, he described himself as a backbencher who struggled with studies and even failed three times during his school years. The revelation shocked the audience but also made the moment more relatable and real.
The fun didn’t stop there. Akshay Kumar jokingly asked Jinesh why he kept failing in school and his friend responded in a light-hearted way, blaming their time spent together. The playful banter between the two quickly turned into a lively exchange, with both teasing each other about their childhood habits.
Akshay even shared a funny detail about Jinesh’s younger days, recalling how he would ride his bicycle around town just to catch glimpses of girls. Not one to stay quiet, Jinesh turned the tables and jokingly questioned who actually did that more, leaving the audience laughing.
Beyond the humour, the moment highlighted something deeper, Akshay Kumar’s strong connection with his roots. He has often said that he remains in touch with his childhood friends. A few years ago, he even invited friends from his old residential society to The Kapil Sharma Show, showing how much he values those relationships.
Raised in Mumbai, Akshay’s journey to success wasn’t straightforward. Before entering films, he trained in martial arts and even worked as a chef in Thailand. After returning to India, he pursued acting and, over the past 30 years, built an incredible career to become one of the biggest stars of Bollywood.
From failing exams to achieving superstardom, Akshay Kumar’s story is a reminder that success does not always follow a perfect path.
