Bollywood’s Khiladi, Akshay Kumar, is as well-known for his razor-sharp wit as he is for his action-packed roles. The actor recently gave fans yet another laugh-out-loud moment during a Twitter exchange with co-star Chunky Panday.
Chunky Panday, who plays the beloved character “Aakhri Pasta” in the Housefull series, took to Twitter to share a fun picture with Akshay. In the photo, Chunky can be seen playfully kissing Akshay, who is dressed as Bala, his character from Housefull 4. Captioning the photo with a touch of humor and nostalgia, Chunky wrote:
“Batman & Joker, Bala & Pasta #HF4. 33 years, 4 films and a million memories. Thank you, my Friend, Akshay Kumar.”
While the post was filled with fondness, Akshay’s reply turned the moment into a comedy spectacle. In true Khiladi style, he shared a meme of himself pulling a quirky face with the text, “50 rupya kat overacting ka”—poking fun at Chunky’s heartfelt praises.
Fans couldn’t stop laughing at the hilarious banter, which perfectly captured the duo’s chemistry, both on and off the screen.
This isn’t the first time Akshay has made headlines for his humorous retorts. A similar moment unfolded when his Mission Mangal co-star Taapsee Pannu congratulated him for making it to Forbes’ list of the world’s highest-paid celebrities. Praising him as “inspiring, deserving, and one of the best,” Taapsee cheekily added, “Bas sir, ab sharing and caring ki baari hai.”
Akshay Kumar made his acting debut in 1991 with Saugandh, but it was the 1992 thriller Khiladi that earned him the title of Bollywood’s “Khiladi.” Over the years, he has delivered a string of hits across various genres, including action, comedy, drama, and socially relevant films.
