The REAL Face of Bollywood A-listers (Aishwarya, Katrina, PC, SRK) - Page 8

The effervescent and charming girl on screen - Katrina Kaif has a rather different side to herself as well.

According to a fellow traveler in a recent aircraft the actress had boarded, her in-flight manners are far from her fan-friendly, posing-for-pictures self at airports.

The actress literally and figuratively gets up in the air' if her co passengers are to be believed. So much so, that she refuses to talk to the flight stewards and stewardesses and relies on her dutiful manager to do the needful.

Asource told Mumbai Mirror, "Basically every time when Katrina boards a flight, she sits with her manager. When the flight stewardess comes to greet her or ask her about her food preference, she simply turns to her manager instead of talking to the flight attendant directly. She would then tell her food preference to her manager who would then convey it to the stewardess."

Apparently, her dutiful manager even helps her call out for water or the other in-flight necessities whenever Katrina commands.

And in case you were wondering, Kat's behaviour doesn't change with flights - be it domestic or international travel. In fact, the source mentioned that Kat's unusual behaviour isn't new. In fact, an incident, years back surprised a lot of fellow travellers who were a bit too used to the actress' onscreen avtar.

Apparently, Kat had lost her cool on an airhostess when she was woken up and asked to fasten her seatbelt. Obviously not in her best behaviour with her slumber party being crashed, Kat had given a piece of her mind to the unsuspecting stewardess who had simply tried to follow the rules.

"Katrina's in-flight manners were once narrated by an airhostess in a television show. The actress refuses to talk to the stewardesses and communicates through her manager seated next to her - even for a bottle of water," the source added.

Looks like Katrina's manager has more people to deal with than just the media or production houses. Surprisingly, Katrina's mannerisms take a sharp turn on returning to ground level. Once the flight lands, and she is out of the aircraft, Katrina is back to being her cheerful camera friendly self.

"She is very sweet to her fans and often poses for pictures at airports and even indulges kids wanting to take her autograph. Thus for people travelling with her, it's quite a disconnect between her in-flight and onground avtars," said the source. Perhaps she just likes relying on her manager for her every need.
