The upcoming premiere of Wheel of Fortune is already serving up the kind of chaotic energy only a group of long-time industry friends can provide. In a newly released promo for the show, which debuts on January 27, host Akshay Kumar teamed up with guests Riteish Deshmukh and Sajid Khan to playfully roast filmmaker and choreographer Farah Khan.
The “18 Lakh” Hospital Bill The banter kicked off with Sajid Khan appearing in a wheelchair, leading Akshay to jokingly reveal Sajid’s hospital bill—a whopping ₹18 lakh plus GST. Akshay quipped that he hoped the director would earn at least ₹20 lakh from the show to cover his medical expenses.
When Sajid joked that hospital staff were practically waiting outside the studio for their payment, Akshay didn’t miss a beat. He took a sharp, hilarious dig at Sajid’s sister, Farah Khan, saying, “Mujhe pata hai tere paas ek behen bhi hai jo paisa bahut kamati hai” (I know you have a sister who earns a lot of money).
Teasing the “YouTube Star” The roast didn’t stop there. Riteish Deshmukh jumped in, referencing Farah’s massive success as a vlogger, saying, “Logon ke ghar mein ja-jaake kamati hai” (She earns by going to people’s houses). Sajid added that she’s been making bank by cooking on camera, to which Riteish delivered the final punchline: “Khana bhi paka rahi hai aur logon ko bhi paka rahi hai” (She’s cooking food and also annoying people/cooking their brains).
The jokes are a nod to Farah Khan’s YouTube channel, which has surpassed 2 million subscribers. Her content, featuring celebrity home tours and candid cooking sessions, has become a digital sensation.
Farah’s Hilarious Retort Farah Khan, known for her sharp wit and “no-nonsense” attitude, wasn’t about to let the trio have the last word. Reposting the promo on her Instagram stories, she responded with a single, perfectly timed word: “Kameenon!”
The playful exchange has fans buzzing with excitement for the show’s first episode. Whether it’s on the Wheel of Fortune stage or Farah’s next viral vlog, this group proves that their off-screen friendship is just as entertaining as their movies.
