Akshay Kumar recently added a light-hearted touch to the grand finale of Wheel of Fortune. The actor and host was joined by Jacqueline Fernandez, Bhumi Pednekkar and choreographer-filmmaker Farah Khan, who graced the show. A clip from the episode has since gone viral, in which Akshay is seen dancing in high heels.

The moment came after Jacqueline and Bhumi opened up about being at the receiving end of Akshay`s practical jokes on sets during their appearance on the show. As a playful payback, Jacqueline challenged Akshay to wear high heels and dance for one minute. She further added that if he failed to do it, he would have to transfer Rs 1 lakh to her account.
Initially unsure, Akshay was concerned about injuring himself. He also admitted that he had never worn heels before. He said, “Pagal hai kya main pehanu? moch voch aajayegi (Are you mad? What if I twist my ankle). I have never done it in my life; I am very scared, man.”
