Katrina don't need no Uncle Akki!
Hey, you should be giving me the feedback. All I've been hearing are great reports, immense suspense, and thrills and chills people have been feeling through the episodes, which is every emotion I wanted people to feel. But you should be telling me, because you guys have the finer print on hand. I heard it got eyeballs. Does it have yours???
How was it shooting in South Africa as one big family? Did you feel sentimental when you had to say bye to one contestant per week?
Because of the high-energy promos, audiences are wondering why you aren't trying any stunts on the show?
I entered this show to prove to the world that woman are stronger and more determined than men give them credit for. This is about what women are really capable of, not another reason to show the world what Akshay Kumar can do. But you may have a few surprises in store, stay tuned and find out (I'm not one to leave my ladies alone out there!)
What is the one challenge on KKK that made even you gulp? Would you put your head in a tank full of snakes?
Darling, if you paid me enough I would do anything… just kidding! Of course I would. I thrive on challenging myself everyday. It's in my nature to take risks. We're only here once and I'm gonna make the most of it. But I have to say some of these stunts turned my stomach (just a little bit)
We heard you went turban shopping with Snoop Dogg. Tell us about it. Did you rap with him or show him any of your films?
Do I look like the kind of man that goes turban shopping? We have dress dadas that do that. It was Snoop himself who wanted to play a Punjabi character so badly. I was actually quite touched.
That man is a unique dude. It was more than a pleasure rapping with him, it was an honour.
Get this, when I turn up, he tells me he's seen some of my movies and he got a shock when I told him I've done over 120 films. He's one man I'd like to take home and feed makai ki roti. He's a diamond geezer.
Your trailor Chandni Chowk To China opened along with Batman: The Dark Knight.
Well, the best thing I've heard so far is that the director of The Dark Knight, Christopher Nolan, saw the trailer and couldn't believe what he just saw. It had him stunned. I'm taken aback by the fact that someone of his stature found the trailer so interesting. Helps me keep the faith!
Katrina and you are the big hit jodi at the moment. You weren't there for her big birthday bash. Did you wish her?
Why? Would that affect the sales of your paper? She knows I was somewhere in the world wishing her not to eat all her cake. She's cool. She don't need no Uncle Akki at her birthday. Knowing me, I'd only humiliate her or something like that.
Shah Rukh Khan and Salman Khan had a falling out at the party. Bollywood is reportedly split into camps over this. How will you juggle your equation with both?
Totally indifferently. We respect each other and if either one has an issue with the other, let them resolve it. I'm no therapist. They're grown men, let them sort it out. If they want to rattle each other's cages let them, it's ok. Chill in life. Like I said, no one that night needed their Uncle Akki.
TV channels went on while you were shooting in the US about a rumoured fling with your fitness instructor. Did it affect your work?
Yeah it did, funnily enough. We had to stall the shoot with all the laughing that happened, subsequently. Who bears the losses, I wonder.
You have also been touring on Unforgettable. Usually you get into the audience and work the crowds. Aren't you afraid of getting mobbed?
They pay good hard earned money on tickets to see us perform. I wouldn't let a little thing like getting mobbed stand in the way of letting people feel their star, or idol, or whatever it is I am to my fans. They deserve my best because without them, I would be nothing.
Recently, the Singh Is Kinng anthem played out all day on television as Manmohan Singh's government won the trust vote. What do you feel sets Singhs apart from other people?
