TV’s most popular supernatural show ‘Naagin 7’ is making waves on the TRP charts these days, but something happened in the show this weekend which has sparked a new debate on social media. Bollywood’s ‘Khiladi’ Akshay Kumar arrived on the show as ‘Naag Guru’ for the promotion of his upcoming film ‘Bhoot Bangla’, but his style of speaking dialogues is being talked about more than his magical characters. In a special episode of the show, Akshay Kumar’s character ‘Naag Guru’ is seen teaching Priyanka Chahar Chaudhary (Nagin Ananta) the tricks to fight the villain. However, as soon as the scene aired, a clip quickly went viral on social media.

Now, imagine this scene: Akshay’s character is guiding ‘Nagin Ananta’, played by Priyanka Chahar Choudhary, on how to defeat a villain. But, the drama doesn’t end here! A clip from the show is going viral on social media, and not just because of the story. Some sharp-eyed fans noticed that Akshay was probably reading his lines from a teleprompter. Yes, seeing his eye movements, people started talking that he was reading the text in between while speaking the dialogues.

There is a lot of buzz about this on social media; Some mischievous people even compared his speaking style with that of a news anchor. He wanted Akshay to speak with a little more enthusiasm and style, because he felt it was a bit too mechanical. But there is no need to panic, the entire army of Akshay’s fans came to his rescue! He argued that Akshay’s schedule is so busy, in such a situation who has time to memorize lines? Furthermore, he also reminded that the use of teleprompters in Bollywood is as common as dance numbers.
Of course, the use of teleprompters is nothing new, but audiences quickly noticed that when actors appear to be reading clearly, it becomes a little too obvious. And this is not the first time that such whispers have surfaced about Akshay. Remember, similar claims were made during the films ‘Sarfira’ and ‘Kannaappa’?
Talking about the professional front, Akshay Kumar’s film ‘Bhoot Bangla’ is all set to hit the theaters on April 17. Tabu, Paresh Rawal, Vamika Gabbi and Rajpal Yadav will also be seen with him in this film. And that’s not all; He has a full line-up of films ready, which includes films like ‘Welcome to the Jungle’, ‘Hera Pheri 3’ and ‘Haivaan’.
Why is Akshay Kumar reading his dialogues from a teleprompter? After 30 years in the industry this 60 year old actor still can’t remember his dialogue, it’s embarrassing. pic.twitter.com/RxtkI5XFol
