Amidst the fun moments and playful banter, Maniesh went on to share that Iqbal is a huge fan of Akshay Kumar and is exceptionally skilled in judo and karate, with flying kicks that are impressively accurate. Maniesh shared, 'There's one thing Iqbal is feeling shy and not saying it, but I want to tell you that he's very good at judo and karate and he can do flying kicks just like professionals.'

Taking the nostalgia a notch higher, Iqbal revealed that when the film Khiladi released, he and his friends were so inspired by the climax scene that they would attempt to recreate it themselves, reliving their admiration for the action star Akshay Kumar in their own style. In a candid confession, Iqbal Khan shared, 'When the film Khiladi released, in the climax scene, when you jump over the ambassador car and then deliver those kicks, we had seen that. There were a few boys in our colony and since there were no cameras back then, we would place a stool behind the car, climb onto it with one hand and try to recreate that move. We only managed to do those kicks and while we would try to lift ourselves up the same way as you did, we just couldn't pull it off.' (Iqbal Khan judo and karate skills revealed)

Karan Wahi shared, 'With characters like us (Maniesh and me), you definitely need someone sensible around to handle things, so he's the one who manages us whenever we're up to our usual antics.'
