Why Katrina slapped Akshay…
27 December 2007 | Actress | No Comments
You ended 2007 on a high note with big hits this year.
Oh, yes, I had Namaste London, Apne, Partner . And all the films did well. It's been an extremely fulfilling year professionally for me. My career is moving towards the right direction. I have taken the leap in the right direction and hopefully next year will be even better.
And what about your personal front? What about it? Your love life?
(Raising her eyebrow) Come on, don't start it all over again. I'm not answering this.
But you are known as Salman Khan's girlfriend?
Oh really? That's weird, no one has ever told me that.
How has your family reacted to your new-found stardom in Bollywood?
My family is a little disconnected with the film industry. Whatever little they know about Bollywood is through me. But I'm glad that I have been able to give them financial security. …
You seem to become an expert in comedies these days?
You are right. Actually, I did quite a lot this year and also learnt a lot. Comedy is difficult, but once you get a grasp of it, you have a blast. Thanks to all the comedies that I did this year, I'm here today talking to you.
Welcome is also a comedy…
I could call it a commercial entertainer. It's not mindless and slapstick comedy, it's witty. What makes it special is the unusual cast, Feroz Khan, Anil Kapoor, Nana Patekar and Akshay Kumar coming together. I had a blast shooting with them. Nana is great, so is Anil and Feroz Khan saab.
And your chemistry with Akshay Kumar?
I think we look good on screen and he makes me very comfortable.
You remember any incident with Akshay?
Oh yes. I don't know whether I should speak about it or not. I'm sure he will get mad at me for telling it to you.
Please go ahead
You know what? I slapped Akshay while shooting for Welcome . I was required to slap Akshay for a scene. I did that, but somehow it was not looking real and the director called for a retake, I did the shot again, but I wasn't able to get it right. Akshay got fed up and shouted 'Come on slap me hard'. I got carried away and landed one tight slap on his cheek, everyone just froze on the sets, and there was pin-drop silence. ….read more
