Media was in for a stun as Kareena Kapoor staged a walk out of a press conference in the city where she was present to promote her upcoming movie ‘Kambakht Ishq’. Evidently upset and fuming with anger, she marched towards her suite when a female journalist questioned her if she would be willing to go totally nude for camera if the script demanded so.
Informs a viewer who was present at the venue, "The question shocked her. Just a few minutes back, she had good-naturedly handled queries regarding her professional life. She had also commented around wearing a bikini in ‘Tashan’ and now ‘Kambakht Ishq’ mainly because the 'script demanded it'. Though averse to doing so in future projects, she admitted that she would keep the subject and story in mind and would do 'anything' that is required by the script."

Though it was a tactful stand on affairs, things went a little too far when an over ardent reporter popped the question - 'Would you mind going nude for a role?' "This was it", includes the source, "Kareena lost her cool at that very moment and rather than choosing to blast the reporter and create a scene, she simply aborted her stay at the press conference. The stunned reporter didn't know what hit her. The event controller too felt shocked about the whole incident and found himself in trouble as this situation was totally unexpected."
The source adds, "There were problems for Kareena from the very beginning of the event. First and foremost the chosen venue itself wasn't advantageous enough to handle a large media that had assembled. Around 100 odd reporters and journalists had assembled in a room that wasn't large enough to host a mega superstar press conference like this. With the claustrophobic venue not helping the cause enough, queries like these were enough for Kareena to blow her fuse."
For media and the movie, director Sabbir Khan came to salvage though. He handled the circumstances well by staying on at the venue and continued to interact with the reporters. "Yes, Kareena was justified in walking out but Sabbir too did all to ensure that promotion of ‘Kambakht Ishq’ didn't get impacted", tells a fellow reporter, "He realizes that the movie is just a few days away and didn't want any bad blood to spoil the show. He had a thin rope to walk on and did pretty well in rescuing the event from turning into a total disaster." |
