In a candid moment during a recent appearance on ‘Aap Ki Adalat’ to promote his upcoming film ‘Jolly LLB 3’, Bollywood’s action-comedy king, Akshay Kumar, was asked a question many actors might find tricky: who is his favorite heroine? Akshay, known for his witty responses, initially chuckled, mentioning he’s worked with almost everyone in the industry. However, after a brief pause, he confidently revealed his choice: Katrina Kaif!
This revelation comes as no surprise to fans who have long admired the crackling on-screen chemistry between Akshay and Katrina. Their partnership has graced the silver screen in 8 highly successful films, cementing their status as one of Bollywood’s most beloved on-screen pairings. Their journey began in 2006 with the romantic drama ‘Humko Deewana Kar Gaye’.
The following years saw them deliver massive hits, including the romantic comedy ‘Namastey London’ and the laugh-out-loud comedy ‘Welcome’ in 2007. Their successful streak continued with the action-comedy ‘Singh Is Kinng’ in 2008. They further starred together in films like ‘Blue’ (2009), ‘De Dana Dan’ (2009), and the unique ‘Tees Maar Khan’ (2010).
After a decade-long hiatus from sharing the screen, Akshay and Katrina made a triumphant return in Rohit Shetty’s much-anticipated cop-universe film, ‘Sooryavanshi’, in 2021, proving their enduring appeal.
While Akshay is currently busy promoting ‘Jolly LLB 3’, Katrina has been taking a more relaxed approach to her film career, dedicating more time to her successful beauty brand. Off-screen, she has been in the news due to pregnancy rumors with husband Vicky Kaushal, though no official confirmation has been made. Media reports, however, suggest a potential late October delivery.
