Kareena Kapoor Khan is once again making headlines for a candid interaction with the paparazzi. The actor was at the trailer launch of her upcoming film Daayra in Mumbai when she appeared frustrated with repeated instructions from photographers asking her to move from one side to another.
A video from the event shows Kareena posing with the film’s team when photographers continue asking her to change positions to get different angles. After being asked to move several times, the actor pointed towards her footwear and said, “Kabhi idhar, kabhi udhar, heels pehna hai.”
