At the event, Narayan Murthy spoke in details about the incident. "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," he said.
"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," Mr Narayana Murthy added. As Mr Murthy narrated the incident and voiced his surprise, Sudha Murthy interrupted him 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," Sudha Murthy added. Her statement was welcomed by the audience with a loud applause and laughter.
Despite her defense, Narayan Murthy continued with his observation. "That is not the issue. The issue is that when somebody shows affection, you can also show it back, however cryptically. I think that is very important. These are all ways to reduce your ego, that's all," he said.
Kareena Kapoor Khan made her debut in the film industry in the year 2000 with the film 'Refugee' opposite Abhishek Bachchan. While her debut film did not work well, Kareena took off with her skills and onscreen charm.
