Wheel Of Fortune: Akshay Kumar Shares Views On Luck Success And Destiny

Bollywood actor Akshay Kumar is gearing up to connect with television audiences in a new avatar. He will host the upcoming reality game show Wheel of Fortune.

The show will premiere on January 27. Ahead of its launch, the actor shared his views on luck, success and life during an interaction with IANS in Mumbai.

Akshay explained that fortune, according to him, is not a matter of chance alone. He described it as a thoughtful combination of effort, timing and mindset.

Akshay acknowledged that luck does not favour everyone equally. He, however, pointed out that life offers opportunities to all, though not always at the same time or in the same way.

The actor was also asked why fortune appears to favour some individuals more than others. The question explored whether beliefs linked to past lives shape destiny.

The Housefull actor remarked, “I believe fortune is a very interesting mix of effort, timing, and mindset. Sometimes the reward is instant, and sometimes it tests your patience before rewarding you. Life isn’t always fair in how it distributes luck, but it is fair in how everyone gets an opportunity.”

Elaborating on the concept of ‘Wheel of Fortune’, Akshay said, “On Wheel of Fortune, you see it very clearly, in a single spin, someone can move from 1 Rupee to 1 crore. That’s the beauty of the Wheel: it mirrors real life, where everything can change in a moment.”

Touching upon the spiritual side of fortune, Akshay noted, “On Wheel of Fortune, you see it very clearly, in a single spin, someone can move from 1 Rupee to 1 crore. That’s the beauty of the Wheel: it mirrors real life, where everything can change in a moment.”

Sony Entertainment Television and Sony LIV will broadcast Wheel of Fortune at 9:00 PM from Monday to Friday.

The globally popular show holds a Guinness World Records title as the world’s most popular TV game show. It has also won the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Game Show.
