Akshay
Kumar
is
not
known
to
fraternize
with
his
co-stars
beyond
the
sets
and
locations,
but
the
Bollywood
star
has
made
an
exception
for
his
furry
friend
from
the
movie
Entertainment.
As
one
of
Akshay's
most
favourite
co-stars
Katrina
Kaif
once
said,
"He
is
a
lot
like
me.
We
are
both
very
friendly
on
the
sets.
But
after
pack-up,
we
like
to
head
straight
home."
That's
no
longer
true.
On
the
sets
of
Entertainment,
Akshay
found
a
new
buddy.
Speaking
fondly
of
the
doggie,
Akshay
said,"His
name
in
the
film
is
'Entertainment'
and
he
and
I
will
be
buddies
for
life."
The
two
bonded
while
shooting
for
their
film
together.
"I
made
sure
he
didn't
just
feel
like
a
dog
being
made
to
do
tricks
for
treats.
I
would
spend
a
lot
of
time
off-camera
playing
with
him.
As
soon
as
he
accepted
it,
we
were
pals
and
not
just
co-stars.
"He'd
let
me
sleep
on
his
belly
at
break
times,
which
was
the
most
blissful
feeling
in
the
world," Akshay
said.
The
two
buddies
also
got
sporty
on
the
sets.
"He
loved
it
when
I
played
ball
with
him,
as
his
attention
toy
was
a
tennis
ball,
which
I
carried
everywhere
with
me.
He's
a
beautiful
dog," said
Akshay,
who
recommends
a
canine's
presence
in
every
household.
"From
the
bottom
of
my
heart,
I
feel
every
gentle
kid
should
have
a
dog.
There
is
no
companionship
quite
like
it,"
he
added.
Even
before
befriending
his
canine
co-star
Akshay
was
a
dogs
person.
"My
homes
are
full
of
dogs,
and
that's
been
the
case
for
years!
I
have
two
German
Shepherds
named
Oaky
and
Clio
in
my
Mumbai
home,
and
a
Golden
Labrador
who
looks
after
my
little
Portuguese
Villa
in
Goa.
"Even
at
my
mom's
house,
who
lives
just
above
me,
we
have
a
little
funny
crossed-eyed
Beagle
that
is
my
niece's
pet.
She
adores
him
to
bits," said
the
actor.
To
Akshay,
canines
are
the
most
dependable
creatures.
"For
me,
dogs
are
where
the
heart
is,
at
home,
looking
after
your
family
while
you
can't."
