Akshay Kumar Playfully Questions PM Modi on Mangoes and CM on Oranges

Akshay Kumar’s Humor on Mangoes and Oranges

At the FICCI FRAMES 2025 event in Mumbai, Akshay Kumar lightheartedly reflected on a previous interaction with Prime Minister Narendra Modi regarding mangoes. He humorously noted, “Main sudrunga nahi,” implying that he wouldn’t change his questioning style despite the lighthearted ridicule he faced.

Revisiting the Tropical Query

In 2019, Akshay had interviewed Prime Minister Modi, where he asked if the PM enjoyed mangoes. This seemingly innocent question led to a flurry of memes and jokes across social media. Now, during his meeting with Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, he posed a similar query, this time about oranges.

Interrogating the Chief Minister

During the event, Akshay shared, “It’s a lovely day… 25 years of FICCI… We have our Chief Minister with us today.” He reminisced about interviewing Prime Minister Modi and humorously highlighted that he wouldn’t change his approach, despite past criticisms. Akshay then asked Fadnavis about his preferences regarding oranges, especially given Nagpur’s reputation for this fruit.

Fadnavis confirmed he enjoyed oranges, revealing his unique method of slicing them, sprinkling salt, and enjoying them—much like one would with mangoes. This prompted a lighthearted exchange where Akshay expressed excitement, stating he would try this new technique.

Throwback to the PM Modi Interview

In his 2019 interaction with PM Modi, Akshay’s jovial questions about mangoes and even the Prime Minister’s sleep habits generated quite a buzz. Akshay emphasized that while others might choose complex political questions, he merely wanted to understand the personal side of the Prime Minister through relatable inquiries.

What’s Next for Akshay?

Currently, Akshay Kumar is making waves with multiple recent film releases, including “Jolly LLB 3,” “Sky Force,” “Kesari Chapter 2,” “Kannappa,” and “Housefull 5.” Fans can look forward to his upcoming film “Welcome to the Jungle,” set to premiere later this December.
