At the Koffee With Karan show back in 2016, Katrina Kaif stated that she wished to tie Akshay Kumar a rakhi while shooting for Sheila Ki Jawaani in Tees Maar Khan. Later on, she Arjun Kapoor her Rakhi brother.
Recalling the incident from the film, Katrina stated, “Nobody is there, nobody is really paying any attention to me. Who do I see walking in the door? A person I have great regard for, a person who I consider a dear friend, and according to me, I don’t see anything wrong with it. So I asked him, ‘Can I tie you a rakhi?’ And Akshay Kumar says, ‘Katrina, do you want a slap?’”
She continued saying, “So, then I was going to a friend’s house that night, and I was a little dejected and disheartened. And who do I see in front of me? Arjun! So cuddly and sweet. At that time, he was cuddly. Now, of course, he is very fit. So cuddly and sweet, he was standing there, and so lovable that I said, ‘That’s it, Arjun, you are going to be my rakhi brother,’”
Later she also clarified that she never tied Arjun a rakhi, saying, “He ran away. And when I say ran away, he literally ran away out the door. And then, the next day, when I tried to chase him again, he ran away,” as quoted by Hindustan Times.
Katrina Kaif is currently wrapped up for her next mega-budget film, Tiger 3 along with Salman Khan.
