Katrina
has
just
returned
from
the
shooting
of
Singh
Is
Kinng
in
Egypt.
And
she
cannot
stop
talking
about
the
place.
Kat
enthuses,
"Egypt
is
a
beautiful
and
we
shot
in
many
places
Luxor,
which
has
many
old
temples,
the
pyramids
etc.
The
people
are
more
reserved
than
the
people
here.
We
would
have
to
shoot
at
4
am
every
day
to
capture
the
light,
and
it
was
scorching
hot.
To
keep
cool
we
would
stay
in
shades.
We
would
sip
chilled
glasses
of
fruit
juices
or
mint
tea
or
iced
hibiscus
tea
(or
karkady)
which
kept
us
energised
and
refreshed."
The
highlight
of
Kat's
cruise
was
dinner
on
a
boat
on
the
Nile.
The
actress
says,
"I
didn't
have
time
to
visit
an
Egyptian
flea
market
but
I
went
for
dinner
on
a
stationary
cruise
boat.
Egyptians
are
very
much
into
barbecues,
kebabs
and
kofta
basically
non-vegetarian
food
like
lamb
and
chicken.
It's
very
similar
to
Arabic
food.
Bread
accompanies
every
meal
and
there
are
many
types
of
breads
in
different
regions,
the
most
common
being
aysh
an
unleavened
circle
of
coarse
dough
and
various
kinds
of
sweet
cakes
and
pastries."
While
her
closeness
to
Akshay
Kumar
was
caught
in
pictures
at
the
IPL
match,
the
actress
says
dismissively,
"Akshay
and
I
are
very
good
friends
but
we
are
both
grown
up
and
mature
enough
to
know
we
are
in
a
public
place
,
so
we
know
how
to
conduct
ourselves
and
not
do
anything
foolish." Ask
her
about
her
beau
Sallu's
show
10
Ka
Dum.
She
says,
"I
don't
have
anything
to
comment
on
that."
