RJ battles 101 fever while Akshay Kumar jokes about giving away ₹1 crore
February 18, 2026: A new promo of Wheel of Fortune India shows RJ Mahvash caught in a funny exchange with host Akshay Kumar. In the clip, Mahvash appears intensely focused even before the puzzle is revealed, prompting Akshay to tease her about trying to solve it too early. He jokingly declares that no one can solve the puzzle and offers ₹1 crore — and even his “kidney” — to anyone who can, leaving Mahvash and the audience in splits.
Sharing the promo on Instagram, Mahvash revealed she shot the episode despite having a 101-degree fever. She wrote that everything that could go wrong that day did, yet the team managed to pull off a great show. Calling Akshay the “sweetest” among all the people she has worked with, she praised his warmth and professionalism, adding that anxiety made her attempt to solve the puzzle even before it began.
The show, which premiered on January 27, airs Monday to Friday at 9 PM on Sony Entertainment Television and is also available for streaming on SonyLIV. The episode featuring Mahvash will also see appearances by actors Mithila Palkar and Danish Sait, as contestants compete to solve word puzzles and win cash prizes.
