Saif, Kareena At Metro Shoe Promotion ....

Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan have decided to put their fashionable feet forward, and endorse Metro shoes. Metro shoes, for trivia lovers, was in fact, named after the landmark theatre called Metro, in South Mumbai.

On Monday evening, at a five-star hotel in Juhu, the media sat waiting for Saif and Kareena to arrive for a press conference on a brand of shoes they endorse.

The actors arrived at the venue two hours late. Never in their wildest dreams had they expected the entire media to walk out on them. All press people boycotted the event and walked out the moment the two lovebirds entered.

An eyewitness says, "The event was to start at 8 pm and the entire media had arrived a little before time. After waiting for a while, they asked the organisers of the event about the whereabouts of Saif and Kareena. They were told that the couple was on its way to the venue and should be arriving any time. But that never happened."

Apparently, the media decided to boycott the event at 10 pm. While exiting, they saw Saif and Kareena enter but none of them waited for the couple. The eyewitness adds, "The media people were fuming by that time and they refused to stay back. Saif did apologise to them, explaining that they were stuck in traffic. But none of them understood why it took Saif and Kareena over two hours to reach Juhu from their Bandra residence. The distance can be covered in half an hour."

While Kareena remained unavailable for comment, Saif said, "Yes, we were late as we were stuck in crazy traffic due to visarjan. However, the most important part is that the event went off very well. The client was very happy and I am aware that certain press people were a little fed up, as we were late. But I apologise for that. I even apologised to the organisers. Sometimes one does get late in Mumbai traffic."

Saifeena arrived at the promotional event, wearing red and black - Kareena wore a red dress while Saif wore a black tuxedo.

Speaking about their association with Metro Shoes, Kareena said, 'Metro Shoes is a great brand. What's special is that they chose Saif and I to work together. We are both very happy & excited.'

About endorsing a brand together with Kareena, Saif said, 'We want to brand ambassadors of many products but they also should be ready to work with us. We are happy to work together. But it should be in the right dose. The audience shouldn't get fed up, which is quite easy to do with celebrity couples.'

Saif and Kareena will next be seen together on screen in AGENT VINOD which is scheduled for a release.
