What's with Katrina and Akshay's consecutive paring? The duo will be seen in yet another action comedy Singh Is Kinng after their soon to be released Welcome.

According to a tabloid report the frequent pairing and good onscreen chemistry between Akshay and Katrina is believed to have rattled Salman Khan who is romantically linked with Katrina Kaif.

So it is not surprising that in every press interview Akshay is asked to comment on his equation with the vivacious 21-year-old Katrina.

Akshay explains why he considers the pairing both successful and sought after by producers.

"Katrina is easy going and takes her work seriously but with a smile.... There is no reason not to have fun and shoot," he says.

"Katrina still exudes freshness in every film and that makes her likeable - a rare asset and a goldmine for any actor," he adds.

When a tabloid asked as to why he has been recommending Katrina Kaif to all his producers Akshay's answer was matter-of-fact.

"I'm not out to spoil her really. I'm making life easy for a colleague. I struggled once. Why should someone else go through that?" he asks.
