Katrina-Akshay: Why did Akshay say ‘I miss you’ to pregnant Katrina?

Akshay Kumar and Katrina Kaif are considered one of Bollywood’s hit pairs. At one point, their on-screen chemistry was so strong that rumors about their off-screen relationship started circulating. However, in reality, Akshay is a good friend to Katrina. They have worked together in movies like ‘Welcome’ and ‘Singh is Kinng’. Katrina is about to become a mother soon, which might have triggered Akshay’s sudden ‘I miss you’ statement. What could be behind this unexpected declaration? The song ‘Ek Uncha Lamba Kad’ from the 2007 movie ‘Welcome’ had created a huge buzz, and even after all these years, it remains a favorite among fans. This song has been recreated for Akshay’s upcoming movie ‘Welcome to the Jungle’, hinting at a new version being in the works. The actor shared a short teaser where he was seen with Disha Patani. Akshay appeared in a red-hot look, holding Katrina in a cozy pose. The background music added to the romantic vibe. Towards the end, Akshay said, ‘We miss you, Katrina!’ in a heartwarming tribute to the actress. The caption read, ‘From our hearts to yours. What a throwback, 18 years and still an all-time favorite. So much nostalgia, beautiful. Disha and I are here for you ‘Welcome to the Jungle’. We will never forget our queen Katrina.’ Directed by Ahmed Khan, ‘Welcome to the Jungle’ features Akshay Kumar, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal, Anil Kapoor, Jacqueline Fernandez, Raveena Tandon, and Disha Patani, along with 34 other stars. Just a few weeks ago, Akshay made an appearance on ‘Are You Here for Justice?’, where a fan asked him about his favorite actress. Akshay didn’t take long to answer the question. He replied, ‘My favorite heroine… Actually, I have worked with everyone in the industry. (Pause) Katrina [Kaif]!’ Akshay and Katrina have worked together in eight movies, like ‘Heyy Babyy’ (2006), ‘Namastey London’ (2007), ‘Welcome’ (2007), ‘Singh is Kinng’ (2008), ‘Blue’ (2009), ‘De Dana Dan’ (2009), ‘Tees Maar Khan’ (2010), and ‘Sooryavanshi’ (2021). Katrina is expecting her first child with Vicky Kaushal. Currently, she is keeping a low profile. Akshay had a special request for the future mother. He wrote, ‘I can say that you both will be the best parents. Please teach your child English and Punjabi. Lots of love and blessings. Jai Mahadev.’
