Kareena Kapoor, who is expecting her first child in a few months from now, is in a spot of bother. The actress’ trusted driver Jairam has not reported to work since Tuesday.
No, he hasn’t gone on leave, unannounced -- the guy, we hear, is actually missing.
Jairam’s family members have been visiting Saif Ali Khan and Bebo’s Bandra residence every single day, hoping for some information about his whereabouts. But unfortunately, the actor couple is as clueless about him as his kin are.
But why did he flee in the first place?
Seems, Jairam used to organise chit funds with his friends, some of whom were also B-Town celebrities’ drivers. But as it sometimes happens with these small chit funds, one contributor ran away with Rs 13 lakh.
Soon, the other contributors started hounding him, some even threatening him to return their hard-earned money. Unable to bear the pressure, Jairam slipped into chronic depression and stopped reporting to work regularly.
Obviously, Jairam’s sudden vanishing acts started upsetting Kareena’s travel plans -- both personal and professional.
One such occasion was when Saif was recently hospitalised after a minor mishap on the sets of his upcoming film. Bebo was depending on Jairam for her visits to and from the Andheri (West) hospital, but he was MIA.
Fed up of his irregularity and unprofessionalism, Saif and Kareena finally gave him an earful when he reappeared last Tuesday.
His reaction, we hear, left the duo extremely shocked. SpotboyE.com has it that Jairam not just fought back, but also threw the car keys at them before walking out. Since then, there’s been no news from him.
Were Saif and Kareena aware of his depression and personal problems? We doubt that.
