First Time I Agree…: Netizens React To Narayana Murthy's Comment Saying Kareena Kapoor Ignored Fans On Flight

Narayana Murthy's Remark On Kareena Kapoor Garners Reaction: An old video of Infosys founder, Narayana Murthy, critiquing Bollywood actor Kareena Kapoor's behavior with fans on a flight resurfaced, and it caused a stir on social media.

The video from IIT Kanpur's interaction earlier this year, shows Murthy expressing his disappointment over Kareena's response to her fans and admirers.

In the video, Narayana Murthy recounts an incident where he was seated next to Kareena Kapoor on a flight from London. He said that he saw numerous fans approaching the actress to greet her, but she did not acknowledge their greetings. This left the tech mogul disappointed!

Here's What Narayana Murthy Said About Kareena Kapoor Khan

Narayana Murthy said in the old video, "The other day I was coming from London, and next to me was Kareena Kapoor, sitting in her seat. So many people came to her and said hello. She didn't even bother to react. I was a little bit surprised. Whoever came to me, I stood up, and we discussed for a minute or half a minute - that's all they were expecting."

However, Sudha Murthy, the Infosys Foundation chairperson, defended Kareena and said, "She has a million admirers. She must have been tired... Murthy, a founder, a software person, will have maybe 10,000 (fans), but a film actor will get a million."

Narayana Murthy then added, "That is not the issue. The issue is that when somebody shows affection, you can also show it back, in however cryptic manner you can. I think that is very important. These are all ways to reduce your ego, that's all."

Praising Murthy a user wrote, "Just proves that education and upbringing and family background play a major role." Another commented, "That's why nobody will even remember who Kareena is just after her glamour is gone. On the other hand, people are and people will remember you even after hundred years from now."

A third user recalled her horrific experience of meeting the actor and wrote, "She used to be my favourite actress until 10 years ago. We were on the same flight. All I said was 'hello' all excitedly, and she called the crew and made it look like I was harassing her. I had not even asked for a picture. I have never felt so humiliated. I have never seen anyone turn ugly that fast in my head."
