Wheel of Fortune today episode: Akshay Kumar turned a routine Wheel of Fortune episode into a comic English “exam” when contestant Yashoda, from Uttar Pradesh, calmly answered in fluent English every time Akshay spoke in Hindi. The contrast between Akshay’s informal Hindi banter and Yashoda’s polished responses set up a light, fast-paced language duel on the game show.
The teasing reached its peak when Akshay finally asked Yashoda, “Are you testing my English? I am speaking to you in Hindi and you are speaking to me in English.” As the puzzles kept appearing on the board, Yashoda kept solving them quickly, while also keeping the host on his toes linguistically.

Wanting to keep the atmosphere playful, Akshay told the audience, “She is definitely testing my English because she thinks my English is weak… and to be honest, she is right!”
