The non actress that she was, it wasn’t easy for Katrina Kaif to survive in B-Town despite the help from her man Salman Khan until a certain Mr. Akshay Kumar happened to her.
He too was looking for a perfect screen partner after his wifey Twinkle Khanna banned him from working with Priyanka Chopra[^] following too much talk of their link ups. And Katrina knew nothing about acting other than sitting and looking pretty and running around trees.

In what is being termed as the biggest hit of 2008, based on its first 10-day box office collection, Shahrukh Khan starrer Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi has managed to collect about Rs 60 crores so far, of which nearly half has come from the overseas markets.
This exceeds earlier successful box office collections for the first 10 days, for films like Singh is Kinng (about Rs 48 crores), Race and Jodhaa Akbar (about Rs 45 crores each) released earlier this year. With Rab Ne, the Yash Raj banner has tasted …

Spicezee Bureau Mumbai, Nov 25: Call it superstition or lady luck, but Akshay Kumar is desperately seeking Katrina in all his films. The uber hit onscreen jodi that have been touted ‘King and Queen’ at the Box Office this year are in no mood to part ways, for the man in this filmy relationship is exploring all ways to rope in the long legged lass in all his ventures. Then even if that means the ‘Kinng’ will have to twist a few things or two, the actor doesn’t seem to …
