When Katrina Kaif appeared on Koffee With Karan in 2016, she spoke about how she wanted to tie Akshay Kumar a rakhi during the shoot of Sheila Ki Jawaani from Tees Maar Khan, but he refused. She then wanted to make Arjun Kapoor her ‘rakhi brother’. 

The Bollywood diva recalled being on the set of Tees Maar Khan, in her gold choli, wondering why no one wanted her to tie them a rakhi. She said, “Nobody is there, nobody is really paying any attention to me. Who do I see walking in the door? A person I have great regard for, a person who I consider a dear friend, and according to me, I don’t see anything wrong with it. So I asked him, ‘Can I tie you a rakhi?’ And Akshay Kumar says, ‘Katrina, do you want a slap?’ So, then I was going to a friend’s house that night, and I was a little dejected and disheartened. And who do I see in front of me? Arjun! So cuddly and sweet. At that time, he was cuddly. Now, of course, he is very fit. So cuddly and sweet, he was standing there, and so lovable that I said, ‘That’s it, Arjun, you are going to be my rakhi brother. He ran away. And when I say ran away, he literally ran away out the door. And then, the next day, when I tried to chase him again, he ran away.”
