When Karina Kaif landed in Dubai last Thursday for a series of promotional events for a jewellery brand, the media got a taste of the actress's mood swings. The usually composed actress kept rescheduling her commitments until the exasperated media decided to call it a day.
Before she even reached the first venue for a media interaction, she made it clear that she would not answer any questions on steady date Ranbir Kapoor. This was followed by a text to her team: "Cancel all my one-on-one interviews,"
