Recently, Shark Tank<\/a> India\u2019s Aman Gupta, Anupam Mittal and Namita Thapar joined Akshay for a special episode of Wheel of Fortune. During a conversation with Aman, Akshay recalled the biggest mistake of his life.<\/p>\n

The actor made the confession when Aman asked him, \u201cWhat has been your most gajab beizzati (embarrassingly humiliating) moment till date?<\/p>\n

At that moment, Akshay walked down memory lane and looked back at the moment when he got scared about his career and wondered if it was almost over.<\/p>\n

The actor recalled an incident from a party he had attended with a close friend, where a heated argument suddenly broke out. The situation quickly spiralled when another person began hurling abuses at his friend, refusing to back down. As tensions escalated, his friend was left visibly shaken and almost in tears.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe abused him once, I told him not to do so. He did it again. Then a third time. I kept warning him four or five times, but he just wouldn\u2019t stop. Actually, it was deeply personal. Someone had used extremely filthy language against my friend. Unable to tolerate the repeated insult, I got involved,\u201d Akshay said.<\/p>\n

In the heat of the moment, he ended up slapping the person, who lost consciousness. In that instant, the actor was gripped by fear, worried about the consequences and whether the incident could jeopardise his career.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a very big party. My friend had actually started crying because it was extremely embarrassing for him. We poured water on him, and I was praying that he would regain consciousness. Oh my God,\u201d Akshay admitted.<\/p>\n

The person eventually regained consciousness.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the moment, Akshay mentioned, \u201cHad it been today, I would never react like that. For me, that was the real \u2018Gajab Beizzati\u2019 moment, something I would want to change if I could. Today, I would simply walk away.\u201d<\/p>\n
