It was in 2010, in Berlin, at the Berlinale where MNIK was the opening film of the festival...several times... I could see how she (re-)acted in public spaces (Red Carpet, theatre hall, press conference, photo shooting) and met her for an interview. Of course, she was not in a privat space, it had been professional events but I could witness her interacting with fans and there is a certain reluctance (insecurity? shyness? reservations? fear of contact with unknown people?) to meet them alone...but when she did she was friendly, nice...and kind of strict to avoid getting pushed or yelled at.
It was interesting to experience the different behaviour of fans (which I had first witnessed in 2008 when SRK was in Berlin for the OSO premiere and a panel discussion) ...it was a rather big group of fans waiting outside the hotel in the cold and SRK and Kajol came to meet them (although they had been stressed because of the incidents in India surrounding the release of MNIK).
