Actor Hrithik Roshan’s ex-wife Susanne Khan has praised Infosys founder Narayan Murthy for criticising actor Kareena Kapoor. In an old video recirculated recently, Murthy talks about how the actress ignored her fans on a flight. In a conversation at IIT-Kanpur, he shared an incident and voiced his surprise at the actor not acknowledging her fans on a flight.
He said, “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 they 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.”
His wife, Sudha Murthy, sitting beside him, tried to defend the actor. She said, “She has a million admirers. She must have been tired. Murthy, a Infosys founder and a software person, may have 10,000 (fans), but a film actor will get a million.” Narayan Murthy continued, "That is not the issue. The issue is that when somebody shows affection, you can also show it back, however cryptic manner you can. I think that is very important. These are all ways to reduce your ego, that's all.”
Susan took to the comments section of her Instagram account and wrote, “Well said Mr Murthy.”
There have been rumours about Hrithik and Kareena dating each other, which began around the time they starred in the Karan Johar film ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’ in 2001. They later went on to work in ‘Yaadein’ in 2001 and ‘Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon’ in 2003.
