Here is an example of beauty with brains. Katrina Kaif, the pretty damsel with a killer smile, often locked her brains with co-star Akshaye Khanna over the game of chess while shooting for the Abbas-Mastan thriller.
According to reports, since the breaks in between the shots were long, it was Akshaye who took the initiative and invited co-stars for games of chess. Katrina Kaif, needless to say, was all game for it.
Though she knew a few of the moves, she reportedly learnt the game in detail from Akshaye.
And within days, she acquired a good command over chess. She would even dare to play the gambit or camouflage her attack while playing with Akshaye, who in turn was pretty impressed by Katrina's grasp over chess.
In fact, she almost ended up beating Akshaye in a game.
Even Saif Ali Khan could not resist the temptation and would often join in.
‘Race' is a thriller starring a host of actors. Apart from Akshaye, Katrina and Saif, the film stars Bipasha Basu, Anil Kapoor and Sameera Reddy.
