Kareena Refuses To Eat Eggs ....

Kareena Kapoor apparently refused to eat eggs during the filming of a scene in Short Term Shaadi.

Kareena Kapoor, made an unusual request, when she told director Shakun Batra in no uncertain terms, that she wouldn't eat eggs for a scene, though the script demanded it. Kareena announced that eating eggs would go against her strict vegetarian principles.

Says a unit source, "Kareena plays a hairstylist in the film and was to shoot a breakfast scene set in a US cafe with Imran Khan. The director Shakun Batra wanted his leading lady to eat scrambled eggs in the scene, but she refused to.

It is said that the star "pleaded, argued and eventually threw a tantrum" with the project's director Shakun Batra. The director finally gave in.The eggs were substituted with pancakes. And thanks to several retakes, the actress ended up eating as many as 15."

Says Bebo, "I don't eat eggs. I gave up eating non-vegetarian food six years ago. I told Shakun we could have me eat eggless pancakes for the scene instead. He was very cooperative."

She adds that it isn't a one-off fad. "Even if the scene required it, I won't have such food. I have laid down that rule and explain my stance when I'm doing any film," she says firmly.
