New Delhi: Kareena Kapoor Khan has been slammed for ignoring her fans and even a co-star by filmmaker Mahesh Tilekar, best known for helming Marathi films. He recalled a time eight years ago when he was travelling with his Marathi group and ran into Kareena at the airport.
Even Radhika Apte doesn't like signing autographs, Mahesh added in his lengthy social media post, and celebrities only interact with fans to promote their films and television series.
“Recently, I watched an interview of Infosys founder Narayana Murthy who narrated an incident when he was returning to India from London. He said that Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor was sitting in front of him and he greeted the people who approached him but she ignored all the fans who wished interact with her, disrespecting their emotions. The incident disturbed Murthy very much. What is the use of such arrogance?" Mahesh wrote.
“Eight years ago, we were waiting in the check-in line at the airport when I noticed Kareena was standing next to one of the actresses from our programme. She went to Kareena Kapoor and greeted her. She wanted to click a pic with Kareena but the Bollywood star ignored her, leaving her upset. She had even worked in one of Kareena Kapoor’s well-known flicks, the actress did not care to turn around to look at her,” he added.
“These celebs do not have issues in interacting with fans when promoting their OTT shows or films, but can't show decency otherwise. Radhika Apte had said she does not like to give autographs and click selfies with people. But a few days ago, while promoting her Hindi film, she was seen clicking selfies with some of the famous social media influencers,” the post further read.
The internet is currently backing Kareena for just waving away a fan who wanted to touch her. She went out with her actor-husband Saif Ali Khan on a dinner date in Mumbai, where a fan tried to shake her hand. Kareena smiled and greeted her, but she gently declined her request.
On the work front, Kareena currently has a long list of films in the pipeline. She will be next seen in Rhea Kapoor's 'The Crew'.
