Late last night, Bipasha Basu texted us saying that the
London cordinator of her show was a con woman and we should not give her space
unless and until we believed her.
There is no belief here, Bipasha. We only ask questions on both sides and
report on this purely based on what we are told from the horse's mouth.
So, while the show coordinator Ronita Sharma Rekhi alleged yesterday how
Bipasha Basu drove her mad in London over a show which she was supposed to do,
we spoke to Gubani Kaur this evening to know her version.
It was Gurbani's show, and she had chosen Bipasha to walk
the ramp.
Mind you, it was her first show. Gurbani is just 25-years-old. If her set of
allegations, that follow, are anything to go by, Bipasha might have scarred her
for life.
"I chose Bipasha because she is a name in the
fashion world and my sponsors wanted her" Gurbani began.
But Gurbani's happiness and excitement was shortlived,
she says. Right on landing at the London airport, Bipasha created a big ruckus.
"She was not satisfied with the SIM cards we gave her. She threw them back
at Ronita, who had gone to receive her.
I was not at the airport but had decided to greet her
straight at the hotel. Now imagine my horror, when I learnt that she doesn't
want to stay at the hotel where Shah Rukh Khan gladly stays, Hotel Crange!
We then gave her the option of two hotels- Monteclan and
Mayfair, and she turned around to say that she wanted a Parkland suite in
Monteclam, and mind you that costs about 1500 pounds for a night. Add to this
that she wanted us to extend her stay to 5 days, which would have made me shell
out Rs 7 lakh.

And the drama she created while we arranged the money (HEAR GURBANI TALKING IN
THE VIDEO TO GET A BLOW-BY-BLOW ACCOUNT).
While Bipasha did return a certain amount later, Gurbani
alleges that Bipasha, who is still holed out at Monteclan, is staying there at
her cost partially. "There's still a certain amount which I have paid for
her stay which she is enjoying now," she claims.
Over to the scene when Gurbani met Bipasha. Reveals
Gurbani, "Bipasha called me aside and said: I don't want to talk any
rubbish. What the f**k is this? I want my f**k**g money. This is not the way to
deal with a celebrity. I felt so insulted. I started crying. This was my first
show."
So, Ronita's allegations since yesterday night have all
been correct? Pat came the reply, "Of course. And let me tell you that there
were several people around us in the lobby and the hotel has the CCTV footage
too."
Gurbani adds that Bipasha's manager Sana (from Kwan) who had flown down with
her (at Gurbani's cost) showed her Bipasha's nail marks on her arm. "Women
are abusing women. Is this how Bipasha treats her manager? Are these guys
human?"
Now, this was a serious allegation. We immeditely got in
touch with Sana.
Look at our text messages and read Sana's corresponding
replies.
Sana did not deny or even talk about the nail marks (despite we repeating and
specifying the question), and only touched upon why she was crying. Sigh!
We texted Bipasha to speak up about the nail marks
allegation. The actress read our message and chose to not respond.
"And do you know Bipasha asked for another room
where her fittings would happen? She didn't want to do that in her suite. Goes
without saying that my cost increased," Gurbani laments.
Now? Says Gurbani, "I am going to the airport and getting Bipasha and
Karan's return tickets (see pic above), Air India, to Mumbai cancelled. It is my money and
she can't go home at my cost. She has created a big hole in my pocket. I have
to return about Rs 10 lakh to my sponsors for Bipasha's no-show. My total loss
is about Rs 20-25 lakh," Gurbani said, near the end of her telephonic chat
with SpotboyE.com around 4.30 pm today.
And boy, what was Karan Singh Grover doing, who had allegedly travelled as 1
plus 1 on Bipasha's demand? According to Gurbani (and even Ronita whom we spoke
to), KSG (as he is fondly called) was simply standing there and seeing Ronita,
Gurbani and Sana being humiliated by Bipasha. "I even heard that later he
told Bipasha that she should not return our money because she had not been
treated well by us. Trust me it was sheer non-professionalism on Bipasha's
part. There was a certain miscommunication but we had cleared all her payments
and attended to her demands before the show began. We managed to the right
notes and my show was successful, but I shall never work with Bipasha
again," Gauri concludes.
That was the story in concise. Do hear Gurbani above in
the video.
About 2 hours after we published the story, 12.03 am to be precise, Sana resurfaced to reply: Sorry that I haven't responded to your last msg but I have been dealing with a personal crisis and have been in and out of the hospital... with regard to your last msg, this is absolutely untrue and she would never do anything of this sort... I don't know where you've gotten this ridiculous information from.
Sana, did Bipasha want you to send us a denial? By the way you told us that you didn't want to be bothered on a vacation. And then you write to us that you are in and out of hospital! Are you extremely confused at this moment about how to handle the situation that you find yourself in?
