https://www.pinkvilla.com/fashion/celeb-fashion/make-meltdowns-who-worst?page=1

i had seen this page few days ago about make up meltdowns and there was kareenas
picture taken at FICCI frames also included where she was wearing black gown and
she is really fat and black makeup.

now her pic from same page removed but other actresses are there. and there are
queries also as to why the photos have been changed.

im asking do stars PR demand for unflattering pictures/articles to be taken down?
do they get as involved as that?

If by manipulation, you mean subtle or direct threats, then yes. Pinkvilla has gotten several lawsuit threats over the years which in turn caused them to take down articles/pictures. One of them was the article on Priety Zinta's cocaine addiction and rehab, the other one was the Sonam Kapoor private party pictures that leaked in 2008. Those two are the ones I remember off the top of my head right now. I know there were a couple more on other celebs that were taken down, but I can't remember right now.

Articles without proves should be deleted cause false accusations is not alright.

but taking pictures out cause they turned out ugly are very silly and immature. That should stop.

I think they can pull certain articles and file lawsuits
I don't think they make people change pictures for an article, I knw which article you're talking about maybe the person who made it found a better picture or something, it was change within a few minutes or something. I don't think any star can move that fast lol, plus they say Kareena hardly uses the computer and surfs the net. PR team wouldn't really care about the pictures, it was taken in public place for promotion, shes been criticized for it on various websites. There have been worse articles on her and they havn't been down.

ah no law suit matter this but..
no i mean pcs chitrangadhas prachis everyones pic is there; why go to lengths of
pulling it out..since it was criticized as you say on other websites, it was right for that
particular post.

as for PR not caring, Kareenas PR is on the go 24/y if one tiny article comes out one
day saying she is not doing a film, there will be a rebuttal article the next day, or any
other which shows her in negative light...

and one has clout with certain sites, i cant see ALL sites being in that category tho.
some would care a hoot.

like zoom etc

anyways i think kapoor is keeping away from photogs these days, there are NO
pics of her recent LARGE size after coming back from Maldives. otherwise every
site magazine has one or other casual or formal photo of her clicked somewhere
even if its dining somewhere.

i guess she is hitting the gym or clinic. whichever.

...I think they can get those sublte threats of a potential lawsuit. Didn't someone say that when they asked PV to post the blog about Ranbir's escapades in Vancouver, PV folks told them that they have to think about it because Ranbir and his PR had previously threatened them before?

yeah a law suit where you have to present evidence to support

your story would be a dampner.
