Akshay Kumar dances to Laal Pari in heels
During the finale, after Jacqueline and Bhumi complained about Akshay pulling scary pranks on them, Jacqueline came up with a task as revenge. She asked Akshay to wear heels and dance for one minute, adding that if he stopped midway, he would have to credit ₹1 lakh to her account. At first, Akshay hesitated and said, “Pagal hai kya main pehanu? moch voch aajayegi (Are you mad? What if I twist my ankle). I have never done it in my life, I am very scared man.”
Farah encouraged him to go ahead, and he eventually wore the heels with Jacqueline’s help. The actor then danced to his song Laal Pari from Housefull 4 while wearing red heels and was even seen twirling in them. Later, Farah and Bhumi also joined him. Farah then made him perform some footwork, which he executed with ease. After completing the one-minute challenge, Farah was seen bowing down to him and clapping, clearly impressed. The heels eventually broke, and Akshay added, “Saari aurton ko salaam hai, kaise pehante ho aap log (Salute to all the women. How do you manage to wear these?).”
The clip quickly went viral on social media, with fans praising Akshay for dancing in heels. One comment read, “Akshay dancing with heels wasn’t in my 2026 bingo card.” Another said, “All things aside, Akshay has never been insecure about his masculinity and we’ve got to appreciate that about him.” A fan wrote, “This seems so much fun,” while another added, “He can rock heels, he can rock a nose ring too. Truly an icon.” Another comment read, “Akki is always such a sport.”
