By Gossips TV : Sony TV’s Wheel Of Fortune, hosted by Akshay Kumar, is all set to go off-air later this month. The channel has planned a quick replacement, bringing in a fresh reality format titled Tum Ho Naa, hosted by Rajeev Khandelwal. The new show is scheduled to premiere on April 28 at 9 PM.
Wheel Of Fortune, originally an American game show format, was adapted for Indian audiences with a mix of word puzzles, luck-based spins, and cash prizes. Despite its strong recall value globally, the show witnessed moderate traction in its current run, leading to the decision to wrap it up earlier than expected.
Stepping into the slot, Tum Ho Naa promises a refreshing shift in tone. Backed by Sony Pictures Networks India, the show is expected to blend emotional storytelling with engaging real-life narratives. Unlike traditional quiz-based formats, it will focus on ordinary individuals and their inspiring journeys, offering a more personal and heartfelt viewing experience.
Rajeev Khandelwal, known for his selective and impactful projects, marks his return to television with this hosting stint. His calm and relatable presence is expected to add depth and authenticity to the format.
It remains to be seen whether Tum Ho Naa can strike a chord with viewers and successfully fill the gap left by Wheel Of Fortune in the coming weeks, given its prime-time slot and distinctive concept.
Wheel Of Fortune to go OFF-AIR, Rajeev Khandelwal’s ‘Tum Ho Naa’ to replace it.
