Kareena's strife with Privacy

Privacy has always been a concern for public figures especially film stars. With the advancement of technology and communication the prying eyes of media are stronger then ever before. The fine line between gossip/good journalism/appropriate news is becoming obscure in the demand supply market of news media.Case in point - Kareena's private sms sent to boyfriend Saif being captured on camera. Kareena was attending a press conference for the upcoming film "Kurbaan" when a Marathi news channel (Star Majha) zoomed in on a sms conversation Kareena was engaged in, on her Blackberry. Kareena seemed to be responding to Saif's message "Sorry baby..was talking about your role only" with a "You were rude Saif! I am hurt". Sipping her Tea/Coffee Kareena seemed to be unaware of the voyeuristic eyes of the camera.The TV channels however claims it was an accident. Accident or not - Kareena's privacy seems to have been violated. Advice to our our film stars? Please be a little more conscious and aware of yourselves. After all its better to be safe then sorry! Especially to Kareena who has a history of a private mms leaking to the public (Shahid-Kareena mms) They have privacy screens for cellphones for a reason!
