Prankster Nikhil’s Bushman Act Leaves Akshay Kumar and Audience in Splits on Wheel of Fortune 16th April 2026, Mumbai: On Wheel of Fortune, a fun-filled moment unfolded as contestant Nikhil brought his journey as a prank content creator to the stage. While interacting with host Akshay Kumar and fellow contestants Akshay and Purva, Nikhil shared how he started doing pranks from a young age and eventually turned it into content creation. He spoke about introducing bushman-style pranks in India and gaining rapid popularity, reaching 100K followers in just 45 days. When asked if he had ever faced trouble while pranking, Nikhil recalled an incident from Powai. Dressed as a bushman, he was hiding behind a bush to scare a passerby when a dog suddenly approached him and lifted its leg nearby. The unexpected moment left everyone amused. As he continued with the prank and revealed himself, both the dog and the passerby ran away, turning the entire situation into a burst of laughter for the audience and Akshay Kumar. Reacting to the story, Akshay Kumar shared his perspective on pranking, saying, “This is just to make people laugh. I think we should all be very supportive and try to understand what this man is trying to do. Jab tak aap ye prank se kisi ko physically hurt nahi kar rahe, kisi ko emotionally hurt nahi kar rahe, tab tak theek hai. Agar kisi ko lage, toh I think you should say sorry.” With this thoughtful take, Akshay Kumar struck a perfect balance between entertainment and responsibility. His words highlighted the importance of being mindful while creating content, reinforcing that humour should never come at the cost of someone’s well-being. The segment combined humour with a thoughtful message, highlighting both the lighter and responsible side of pranking.
