Mumbai, April 2 (IANS) Known for his discipline and love for sports, host Akshay Kumar found himself in the company of professional football defender Dalima on the recent episode of the quiz reality show Wheel of Fortune.

Akshay used the platform to humorously highlight how men can sometimes react dramatically on the football field, further delivering a hilarious critique of the acting skills often seen in men’s football.

While interacting with Dalima about her career as a professional defender, Akshay shared that he closely follows both men’s and women’s football. However, he couldn’t resist pointing out a stark difference in how players handle injuries.

He remarked that the players in the men's team sometimes are overly dramatic even with minor scratches.

“Itni acting karte hain! Thodi si scratch lagti hai aur aise girte hain jaise pata nahi kya ho gaya. Lagi nahi hoti hai unko, lekin aisi lagne ki acting karte hain, My God!”

Turning his attention to Dalima’s husband, who was present to support her, Akshay offered some unconventional marital advice. Drawing a parallel between Dalima’s role on the field and her husband’s role at home, he added, “Dalima toh professional defender hai, lekin aapko shaadi mein isse bhi bada defender banna hai!”

The comment left the couple and the audience in splits.

Talking about Akshay Kumar on the professional front, the actor is all set for his upcoming movie Bhoot Bangla that also stars Rajpal Yadav, Paresh Rawal, Tabu, Wamiqa Gabbi and late veteran star Asrani.

The movie directed by Priyadarshan, is all set to release on the 10th of April.
