If I run into Katrina Kaif one of these days, I'm gonna ask her straight off what all this talk about her becoming all distant and standoffish is about. Ask, I will but reply, she obviously won't…can't…whatever! I'll probably have to make do with a message relayed by her manager – if I'm lucky (you've heard haven't you, how some time ago during a flight she even routed a request for a drink of water through her manager sitting alongside!) Thing is, Kat is showing distinct signs of turning into something of a Garboesque 'I want to be alone' figure. At least with the ordinary folk, that is. So she will not interact with mediapeople like she used to, is markedly cool with photogs pleading for a pose, will speak only with her directors or ADs on set; gives her shot, retires to her van and that's pretty much the start and end of all interactions. The giggles are gone. Replaced by this straight-faced, looking-into-the-distance stance. Someone tell me it's just botox!
Or then maybe the gal is just a tad sad she gets such little time to spend with loverboy. Maddeningly hectic film promotions, where he is rubbing shoulders constantly with his still very friendly ex, Deepika Padukone, cannot be an easy sight to stomach. And if she could always give the paps the slip, escaping to the privacy of his Krishna Raj bungalow, there's now competition of sorts here too… In the form of a boxing trainer who comes home to put Ranbir through the moves for his upcoming BOMBAY VELVET! Phew!! What's a girl to do??
'Course, Kat must be heaving a huge sigh of relief that SRK put a spoke in Dippy's wheel… Dips was all excited about whizzing off on a world tour to promote their YEH JAWANI HAI DEEWANI till her CHENNAI EXPRESS hero derailed her plans, declaring she needed to fulfil her obligations towards his film first! There went all chances of revisiting a deewani jawani, tee hee!
