Her limited screen time in Bajrangi Bhaijaan and her decision to walk out of Rajkumar Gupta’s thriller Section 84 — has rocked Kareena’s fandom to such an extent that her “loyal fans” have dashed off an open letter to the star expressing their disappointment with the way Kareena is navigating her career choices.

Here are some excerpts from the emotionally laden note: “It seems that film budgets and box-office figures have greatly affected your career’s route and your choice to experiment with roles. Although your love for masala films is understandable, your well-wishers find it hard to content themselves with secondary roles and short screen times for the talented superstar that you are and that we support so vehemently.”

Even though she’s not on any social networking site, you really need to be living under a rock for Google alerts not to reach you. No surprises then that the letter must have reached Kareena and amid all the plaintive appeals of her fans, what seems to have really upset her is the way they have reacted to her decision to not be a part of Gupta’s film. In an interview to a newspaper, she reacted a bit aggressively to the Section 84 walkout story. “I don’t understand why is there such a big hue and cry about me not doing the film. I don’t know why people are going crazy if I have said no,” she said. Kareena didn’t soften any blow when she pegged her decision on the film’s script. “To be honest, I was not convinced by the script at all. I am sure that I won’t work in a film I don’t like at the script level.

Seriously, even if I don’t have a single film in hand, I won’t do a film unless its script is really good,” Kareena said.
