They played games like Cricket, Football, Badminton, Tennis, Throwball, Dumb Charades, Arm Wrestling, Boxing, UNO etc. Talking about it, Reema said, "Most of the time you have actors who are kind of unhappy with the long hours they are spending on set, But these guys would just keep playing so it was good for me. I didn't have to deal with anybody."
Meanwhile, Akshay not only led team Gold onscreen but also off-screen as well. He also explained the importance of sports at the end of the video and asks parents to encourage their kids to play sports not just hockey but any sport.
