I need to build up a sentence saying like this "She has no false pride like other actresses, she replies to every message sent by her fans". I need to emphasize that she has no false pride like other actresses. Much appreciated if someone can build a better sentence than mine. thanks.

1False pride suggests the subject isn't actually proud. Is that what you're hoping to convey?– ElendilTheTallSep 10, 2014 at 14:16

a celeb is trying to be special and highlighted among people while he/she can be normal with people like some celebs do. that's what I meant.– DamianSep 10, 2014 at 14:19

3You could go the other way, and say, Unlike other actresses she's very down to earth and approachable- she replies to every message sent by her fans.– JimSep 10, 2014 at 14:47

Not replying to her fans may be a case of arrogance rather than egotism.– kettlecrabSep 10, 2014 at 20:47

Celebrities are sometimes
egotistical: characteristic of those having an inflated idea of their own importance; A conceited, boastful person.
conceited: having a high or exaggerated opinion of oneself or one's accomplishments; vain
or smug: contentedly confident of one's ability, superiority, or correctness; complacent.
or snobbish - befitting or characteristic of those who incline to social exclusiveness and who rebuff the advances of people considered inferior

hubris - defined by Google dictionary as: excessive pride or self-confidence, and in Greek tragedy an excessive pride toward or defiance of the gods, leading to nemesis.
So there is a hint with this word that such pride will lead to a humilating fall in time.

I wouldn't use hubris, though, unless you wanted to strongly suggest a coming nemesis. (Which you're right, the OP might want to do!).– DanSep 10, 2014 at 19:45
