Apparently, Katrina Kaif whiled away time at a hotel as heavy security for Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at an event blocked her car's way

Katrina Kaif went through a harrowing time recently, reveal sources at the just-concluded 17th Mumbai Academy of Moving Images (MAMI) film festival. The actress, who attended the festival’s opening ceremony last week, had to check into a hotel for two hours waiting for her car to get out of the parking lot due to heavy security arrangements at the venue.

A source says, “After attending the inaugural function, Katrina walked out along with her director-buddy Ayan Mukerji. Since there were too many VIPs including Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at the event, there was a thick security blanket around, which prevented her car from reaching her.”

The actress, who is currently shooting in Thailand for 'Baar Baar Dekho', then checked into a hotel near the venue and waited there till the jam eased up. Katrina was unavailable for comment while a source close to her says, “Kat wanted to leave early, but got stuck. So, she chose to spend a couple of hours at a hotel with Ayan, who later escorted her till her car.”
