Katrina Kaif may be romantically linked with Salman Khan in real life but her reel-life love stories seem to be all about mismatched couples. Her pairing with Govinda in Partner is a total howler.

Wouldn’t everyone expect Katrina to be paired with Salman in David Dhawan’s Partner? “But people will love my paring with Govinda! I think Akshay and I are seen as a good pair b e c a u s e we’re both tall. But hey, Govinda isn’t short at all! In fact he’s a bit taller than I am.”

Justifying her pairing with Govinda and not Salman Kat says, “Why am I not paired with Salman in Partner ? In the film my pairing with Govinda makes sense. As soon as you see us together you’ll say, ‘Hey, this makes sense!’ My partner in the film has to be everything that I am not, and vice versa. We’re supposed to be a mismatched couple.” So okay, opposites attract! Katrina is all praise for Govinda. In an industry where if you are out of sight you are of mind, Govinda bounced back after staying away from the flashlights for a few years. Says Katrina, “He knows where he comes from and appreciates where he has reached. Then he had to step back a bit. And now he’s back to where he belongs. He’s returned with the earlier enthusiasm.”

Katrina had made her debut with Salman and David Dhawan in Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya two years ago. “But things were very different then. Partner is a different kind of comedy. I love doing comedy especially with Govinda.”

Says Katrina, “Though I’ve done a film with Salman earlier Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya, Subhash Ghai’s Main Yuvraj will be my first film where I’m paired with Salman romantically. In my first film Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya he didn’t go with me at the end (Sushmita got Salman in the end). Main Yuvraj is a huge film and a full-on musical. Subhash Ghaiji and A R Rahman are coming together to create the musical, so you can imagine what is in store.”
