This answer comes from the bottom of my heart... So here you go-
I was at the Mumbai airport security check on my way to Goa. As I was picking up my bag from the security belt, I noticed a bright colored pretty purse and glanced up to see who owned it.. I saw Kareena Kapoor standing in front of me for the first time in my life!
A big fan that I was, I quickly walked up to her once she had picked up her stuff and was free. I smiled, told her I really admire her acting skills and requested an autograph behind my boarding pass.
Not a single expression on her face, no smile, nothing. She signed the back of my boarding pass and passed it back to me with the least interest. She did not respond when I said thanks, and walked away rolling her eyeballs.
I understand she might not have anticipated bumping into a fan suddenly during a security check, so I dismissed my temporary feeling of betrayal by one of my favorite stars.
Then came the mega moment I can never forget. An aged lady's luggage had fallen on the floor and came in Kareena's way as she was walking. She clearly mumbled angry words, gave the lady angry looks, jumped over her bag and walked away. She then called her personal assistant(or whoever it was) and whispered something after which she was escorted away from the general public area into a private area, and of course allowed to board the plane before all of us.
Did she have a bad/busy day? A health issue? Well, maybe.. but there is a higher probability that she was just arrogant and considered herself very superior to the other people out there, given her star status. However, guess who gave her that celebrity' status? These same, other people :)
Edit 1- To the people judging my act of asking for an autograph and saying all film stars are like that...
If you do not wish to take someone's autograph, that is okay. I will not judge you, because to each his own! I decided to have a quick chat because I have met few other celebs in the past who turned out to be really nice, humbly thankful to fans and also elated when you tell them you are a fan(Example- Irrfan Khan, Farah Khan). I believe in appreciating hard work/people one admires, be it a cricketer, a film star, a soldier or a philanthropist. :) The expectation was to have a casual interaction that I would remember. I, in no way think of filmstars as God and never been that crazy about them in that sense. However, when you admire someone on T.V and they are standing next to you, is there any harm in smiling and saying a quick hello? :)
Also, the bigger problem, I believe, was how she behaved the rest of the time other than the autograph part. That is what surprised me.
I don't like beating around the bush. So, here is the naked truth: Kareena is a classless, arrogant, spoilt-brat. The fact that she comes from a very influential family and is a popular public figure is deeply enrooted in her small mind.
I've met her personally and had to bear her and her sister Karishma, her mom, and some more bunch of morons who accompanied her during her stay at the Oberoi Rajvilas resort, Jaipur in 2003, where I was interning. To cut the long story short, she was there to celebrate her birthday and we did more than a guest would expect. On her birthday night, we surprised her by filling her room, (in her absence of-course) with the best exotic flowers and the best possible decoration. We made a huge personalized cake and made it grand for her. And guess what, neither her nor her entire family had a single word of thanks. By the way, this all was complimentary from our side! :) Let me add some more fun to it, their entire stay was paid by the producer/someone of the movie she was working in! While leaving the hotel, forget about leaving a single rupee tip (don't take me wrong, Oberoi hotels doesn't encourage individual tipping, but most of the guests do leave it at reception as centralized tipping, while checking out) they did not even have the basic courtesy of thanking the hotel team that made her stay such a memorable one.
It's important for me to inform you all that The Oberoi Rajvilas is not an ordinary hotel to treat her so special. The Former President of USA Bill Clinton has stayed here not just once but twice. Bill Clinton Arrives in Jaipur This hotel has consistently been ranked as one the best, not just in India but in the world: The Oberoi Rajvilas, Jaipur She ensured that we all got to know what a classless woman she is and how arrogant the Kapoor family is! On the contrary, Karishma's husband was a dignified man with loads of humility. No wonder, we all in the hotel had predicted the future of Karishma and her husband ;)
