Manish Paul, who started his career as a radio jockey and went on to host Radio City’s morning drive-time show, Kasakai Mumbai, opened up about the time when Akshay Kumar Shouted at him during a show.

The comedian-actor and host was asked to share a funny anecdote with a celebrity. She revealed that once in the beginning of her career, Akshay Kumar shouted at her during a show. Recalling the incident, he said, ‘I asked, ‘Akshay sir give me a dialogue.’ He turned back and said in a stern tone chup (shut up). At this I started sweating. My mother also came to watch my show for the first time. I was very embarrassed that beeezti ho gayi (I have been insulted).”
Manish decided to follow Akshay to his seat despite the director asking him not to do so. Manish said, “I started telling him how he insulted me in front of my mother. I said I was just asking him for acting tips. Our conversation went to another level and everyone burst into tears.”
