Kareena Kapoor 'insists on branding'

Kareena Kapoor allegedly threw a tantrum on the set of Bodyguard after she was asked to use a different netbook on set from the one she promotes in advertisements.

The actress is currently a brand ambassador for a so-called 'size zero' Indian netbook.

A source told Mumbai Mirror: "When a netbook of another make was given to her, she threw a fit and refused to shoot.

"She even went as far as to insist that the 'size zero' netbook be used in all her scenes in the film."

Kapoor confirmed that she used the same netbook in every scene because of her loyalty towards the brand.

The Kurbaan star is known for her sponsorship deal with companies in India, including the retail chain Globus, the scooter firm Mahindra and the handbag line LAVIE.

She can be seen using the computer in the upcoming romantic film co-starring Salman Khan, which is a Bollywood remake of a Malayalam hit.
