Akshay Kumar struggles with Prithviraj Chauhan question on KBC 18 despite starring in his biopic

When Akshay Kumar portrayed Prithviraj Chauhan in the 2022 film Samrat Prithviraj, his performance faced significant criticism. At the time, he had urged authorities to revise history textbooks so that students could learn more about the king. Now, four years later, when asked about the king on the quiz show KBC 18, Akshay admitted that he had never heard of the Battle of Tarain. He remarked that while he was aware of the South Korean film Train to Busan, he had no knowledge of the Battle of Tarain.
