Mumbai, Sep 18: Bollywood star Salman Khan came to Katrina Kaif's rescue in London recently, when her cab driver lost his way to her hotel.Katrina had gone to London to attend the premiere of her film Mere Brother Ki Dulhan, but the cab that YRF people sent made her lose her temper.
Problems started for Katrina after she landed in London from Abu Dhabi where she had to attend a promotional event first.The half hour drive extended to one-and-half hours and she had still no idea how far she was from the hotel.
The driver of the car organised for her by Yash Raj Films turned out to be a novice who didn't know the roads well enough. After being driven around for an hour and a half, Katrina got so irritated that she called for a taxi service. And while waiting for the other cab to arrive, she also called Salman to apprise him of her situation. Salman was shooting for Kabir Khan's Ek Tha Tiger at that time.
Soon after the other taxi arrived, Katrina hauled her luggage and headed straight to a hotel in South Kensington, where Salman was staying, reveals our source. She requested Salman to organise a car for her with a chauffeur who knew the roads well.
When Katrina reached her hotel later, the representatives of YRF were profusely apologetic for the inconvenience caused to her.But Katrina had had enough and she was so upset that she didn't want to use any transport being arranged by YRF for her to get to the premiere venue.Unfortunately for Kat, the premiere of the film didn't go as expected.
Says a source: "Maybe it wasn't promoted very well, so naturally the movie's team was surprised that the crowd wasn't as huge as they had anticipated. Since they had reached late, they couldn't spend much time at the venue either because they had to catch a flight to Mumbai."
However, by the time she reached the airport, the check-in counters for her return flight had closed."Obviously, she wasn't too pleased with the way her day was going.," said the source, adding that fortunately for her, help came in the form of her co-actor Imran Khan.
Although he was returning by another airline, Imran helped Katrina secure a reservation on Oman Air, with a stop-over at Muscat.
