Akshay Kumar, Veer Pahariya leave Bigg Boss 18 before shooting grand finale after waiting for host Salman Khan: Reports

As the grand finale of the highly anticipated show approaches, reports have surfaced that some of the invited guests left the set without even filming their segment. Two of Bollywood's biggest stars, Akshay Kumar and Salman Khan, known for their fun-filled camaraderie, were expected to recreate their memorable chemistry from Mujhse Shaadi Karogi.

Akshay, who was there to promote his upcoming film Sky Force alongside debutant Veer Pahariya, was set for a reunion with Salman, but the much-anticipated moment never materialised.

Akshay Kumar and Veer Pahariya were on the Bigg Boss 18 grand finale set to promote their upcoming film Sky Force. The plan was for them to engage in some playful banter with the host, and fans were excited about the prospect of an Akshay-Salman reunion. However, an insider has revealed the reason why this reunion never took place.

As per a source according to Hindustan Times, "Being as punctual as he is, Akshay turned up on the set for his shoot at the scheduled time, around 2:15pm. But Salman hadn't come by then. Akshay waited for an hour for Salman to come, but he had a trial screening of Jolly LLB 3 in his schedule. Thus, after waiting for an hour, Akshay returned without even shooting for the show,” The source also revealed that multiple calls were made to Akshay, urging him to return, but he refused to come back.

The source further reveals , "Akshay and Salman eventually spoke and Akshay told him that he had to leave for a prior commitment. Salman also said that he hopes to have him on the show some other time."
