Nowadays,
thanks
to
the
promotional
tours
and
events
for
their
new
film
Tees
Maar
Khan,
Akshay
Kumar
is
spending
a
lot
of
time
with
Katrina
Kaif.
And
we
can
safely
say
it's
time
well
spent
for
Katrina.
Akshay
is
constantly
enhancing
Katrina's
knowledge
of
Hindi
films,
their
titles
and
other
trivia.
By
now,
it's
common
knowledge
that
Katrina
is
not
quite
clued
into
the
nuances
and
titles
of
Hindi
cinema.
Her
co-star
Akshay
Kumar,
who
prides
himself
for
being
just
the
opposite
and
is
a
veritable
encyclopaedia
of
filmy
titles
and
other
trivia,
has
found
an
ingenious
method
of
educating
his
co-star.
He
plays
Dumb
Charade
with
Katrina
providing
her
signs
and
hints
from
commercial
Hindi
films
as
clues.
And
boy,
is
Katrina
getting
clued
in!
Let's
hear
it,
Sheila
ki
zubaani
(voice).
"I've
to
admit
I
couldn't
have
hoped
for
a
more
fun
teacher
than
Akshay.
I
come
from
a
place
where
I
can't
gush
about
how
I
grew
up
on
a
staple
diet
of
Sholay
and
Mughal-e-Azam.
Akshay
knows
it
all.
He
is
completely
clued
into
the
cult
of
potboilers
and
can
mimic
every
actor
and
act
out
every
famous
sequence.
Being
with
him
over
the
last
few
weeks,
I
am
finally
getting
knowledgeable
about
Hindi
movies."
The
games
of
Dumb
Charade
are
being
played
between
bouts
of
promotion
on
cars
and
flights
in
several
cities
across
the
country.
Akshay
and
Katrina
have
hired
a
private
plane
for
the
12-city
25-day
tour.
"So
we
get
a
lot
of
time
to
play
Dumb
Charade.
By
the
time
the
promotions
for
Tees
Maar
Khan
are
over,
I
think
I'll
be
an
expert
on
Bollywood
trivia," Katrina
has
her
fingers
crossed.
The
education
works
both
ways.
While
Akshay
acts
out
scenes
from
Hindi
films
during
Dumb
Charade,
Katrina
mimes
magical
moments
from
Hollywood
films
for
Akshay.
"So
I
guess
we
are
both
learning
on
the
job," she
chuckles.
