Stand-up comedian Harsh Gujral roasts Akshay Kumar

The actor made his hilarious roast debut to promote his film, ‘Khel Khel Mein’

Akshay Kumar is known for his impeccable comedic timing, be it in the Hera Pheri films or in Welcome. The actor recently signed up for a roast with stand-up comedian Harsh Gujral to promote his new film, Khel Khel Mein. What followed was a 20-minute hilarious back-and-forth between the duo, with the film’s director Mudassar Aziz and cast members Fardeen Khan, Vaani Kapoor, Taapsee Pannu, Ammy Virk, Aditya Seal and Pragya Jaiswal going #rofl! Gujral poised himself to be Akshay’s nephew, arguing that his mother shared the actor’s last name, ‘Bhatia’. He used this endearing connection to take on Akki’s Punjabi roots in Delhi, his early days in Bangkok, his proposal to wife Twinkle, and his hyper-productive lifestyle. If you’re looking to see Khiladi Kumar in a brand-new avatar, this clip is a must-watch!
