Katrina replied to this, saying: “There was no retake in the slapping scene, it was shot at one go.” Akshay continued: “It happened in reality. Because the gaps can be seen in a shot, she slapped me in reality.”
Kapil then asked if romantic scenes required more retakes. Katrina Kaif responded that was not the case: “We don’t do much retakes in romantic scenes as me and Akshay have perfect tuning,” said Katrina.
Akshay Kumar said that they have done some 7 or 8 films together, but his co-star disagreed and said six. She then counted the movies. Akshay Kumar later said they did 6¼ films together!
