Akshay Kumar recently caught viewers by surprise with a humorous and exaggerated claim about his former co-star Karisma Kapoor. While hosting the television game show Wheel of Fortune, the actor stirred laughter by suggesting that Karisma possesses an unusually large number of properties in Mumbai’s upscale Bandra area. The light-hearted moment unfolded during an episode where Karisma appeared as a guest, setting the stage for friendly teasing and nostalgic camaraderie between the two stars.

Akshay’s Comic Take on Bandra Real Estate

During the show, Akshay jokingly painted an amusing picture of Bandra’s residential landscape, implying that nearly every building in the locality housed a flat owned by a member of the Kapoor family. He playfully suggested that instead of full names, the buildings displayed abbreviated nameplates hinting at their ownership. Extending the joke further, he dragged Karisma and Kareena Kapoor’s mother, Babita Kapoor, into the banter, claiming her name also appeared in similar fashion. According to Akshay’s exaggerated narrative, the family’s explanation for acquiring so many homes was their desire to gradually cover neighboring areas like Santacruz and Khar, all while maintaining a sense of fairness by limiting themselves to one flat per building. He even added a comic flourish by remarking that Karisma supposedly spent each night in a different apartment.

Karisma’s Witty Comeback

Karisma took Akshay’s remarks in good spirits and was quick to turn the tables on him. Laughing off the claim, she dismissed the story as pure nonsense and jokingly accused Akshay of being the real property magnate, suggesting that he owned an entire neighborhood himself. Her response drew more laughter and reinforced the playful tone of the exchange, making it clear that the conversation was rooted in fun rather than fact.

A Running Joke with the Kapoor Sisters

This was not the first occasion on which Akshay has poked fun at the Kapoor sisters over imaginary real estate empires. In an earlier television appearance alongside Kareena Kapoor, he had made a similar jest about her allegedly owning multiple homes across Bandra and earning rent from them. Kareena, much like Karisma, brushed off the claim with humor and disbelief.

A Nostalgic On-Screen Pairing

Akshay Kumar and Karisma Kapoor have shared screen space in several films over the years, including popular titles like Jaanwar and Mere Jeevan Saathi. Their recent banter served as a reminder of their long-standing association and the easy rapport that still exists between them.
