Surbhi Jyoti, one of the popular faces of Indian television, recently opened up about a lighthearted incident from the sets of Qubool Hai. While talking about her personal and professional journey, she recalled a particularly amusing interaction with Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar.
The conversation took an interesting turn when Surbhi was shown an old photograph featuring herself, Akshay Kumar, and Karanvir Bohra. The image brought back memories of the time when Akshay made a special appearance on Qubool Hai to promote one of his films. The day, as Surbhi remembered, was filled with excitement, heat, and a fair bit of laughter.
Describing her shooting experience with Akshay, Surbhi spoke about the actor’s quick nature. She noted how he rarely takes time to get into the moment. In her words, “He is also very impromptu. Very quick.”
Surbhi then recalled the moment that stood out the most. The cast was shooting outdoors under the blazing sun. The heat was relentless, and the actors were struggling to stay cool. Akshay, dressed in his character’s costume, began to sweat profusely. He called out to his makeup artist for a quick touch-up. However, the makeup man took a little longer to arrive. In that instant, Akshay noticed Surbhi standing nearby, clad in a burqa for her scene.
Without a second thought, Akshay reached out and wiped his sweat using the edge of Surbhi’s burqa. She remembered feeling a little surprised but also amused by the actor’s easy-going nature. Surbhi shared that she simply reacted with an “okay” and the moment passed in good humor. The casual, no-fuss attitude of the superstar left her impressed.
Talking about his personality, Surbhi praised Akshay for being grounded despite his massive stardom. She admired the simplicity in his approach and his straightforward professionalism. She mentioned how he believes in arriving on time, completing the work sincerely, and heading home without unnecessary fuss. According to her, Akshay’s way of working reflects discipline and clarity.
Another aspect of his personality that Surbhi enjoyed was his humor. She described him as someone spontaneous with a natural flair for making people laugh. His lighthearted jokes and witty comments brought energy to the set. She admitted that his ability to keep the mood lively, even during hectic schedules, was admirable.
Through this little anecdote, Surbhi also reflected on the unpredictable nature of showbiz, where every day holds the possibility of unexpected stories. Working with legends like Akshay Kumar becomes even more special when mixed with such moments of humor and simplicity.
