Reporters and photographers shouted their protests and boycotted the press conference when actors Vidya Balan and Tusshar Kapoor, promoting their film ‘The Dirty Picture’ kept the media waiting for three hours.
The two actors had called a press conference to promote their upcoming film at 11.30 am at Fame multiplex. But the media lost cool after they were kept waiting for three hours. As the actors entered the venue, agitated journalists started shouting and told Vidya to call off the press conference and leave the spot.
Vidya, however, tried to pacify the fuming media by apologizing for the delay and claimed that there was a communication gap with the media which resulted in the delay.
“I am sorry for whatever happened. I had asked my team to communicate to you that there will be a delay in the press conference,” she said. Her PR team, however, never told the media about the change in timings and whenever asked they kept claiming that the actors are on their way to the multiplex.
In no mood to listen, journalists forced them to call off the press conference. Vidya had come late by around two hours for an event a day earlier also.
