While the wheel spun for massive prizes, the real entertainment sparked from a witty linguistic duel where the host Akshay Kumar found his signature Hindi charm met with Yashoda’s relentless English fluency on Wheel of Fortune.
As the game progressed, Akshay was visibly impressed by the way Yashoda was dominating the board, solving complex puzzles with lightning speed. However, it wasn’t just her gameplay that caught Akshay’s attention, it was her choice of language. Every time Akshay addressed her in Hindi, Yashoda responded with articulate English, leading to a playful confrontation. Akshay asked “Aap kya meri english ki test leh rahe hain? main aap se hindi main baat kar raha hoon aur aap mujh se english mein baat kar rahi hain.”

Yashoda is a farmer by profession and resides in a small village in Uttar Pradesh. Beyond the fields, she serves as a beacon of education in her community, working as an English teacher for local women. Akshay pointed out that balancing the grit of farming with the noble effort of teaching is a truly remarkable achievement. To make the moment a bit light hearted and to tease Yashoda further he tells the audience “Yeh pakka meri English test kar rahi hain, kyunki isko lagta hai meri English kamzor hai… aur sach bolu toh yeh sahi bol rahi hain!”
While Yashoda continued to dominate the board with her English fluency, it was Akshay’s unfiltered “admission” of his own language struggles that truly won over the crowd.
