This is so unethical: Get someone to do your work and then not pay that person. That's what Paras Chhabra seems to be doing, when it comes to remitting his Bigg Boss 13 designers, if their version is anything to go by. They gave him clothes, they gave him shoes- and his then-GF Akanksha Puri paid them. But these two girls in question, one of whom is Taashi and the second has requested to be not named- did not stop their deliverables when the couple broke up. "Hamare line mein faith se kaam chalta hai and we never dreamt that Paras would make us run from pillar to post," claims Taashi. Akanksha had stopped paying these designers post her break-up, the fees from December onward have not been given.
So why is he not paying them? The second girl says, which is also endorsed by Taashi, "It is extremely unprofessional. Every time he says mere GST issues chal rahe hain, hence I haven't got my prize money of Bigg Boss 13 and shall pay you only when I get it."
What has miffed the two young girls, who are in the early days of their career, even more, is the fact that Paras has damaged some of the clothes they lent him. "They are not in a condition to be returned and we are billing him for that as well," they claim again.
Also, he is said to have told them that he has lost some of the shoes they'd sent him.
And this one takes the cake! Paras has also been telling them that the clothes they sent him in Bigg Boss 13 were not good. "So why was he wearing them? It is not that we didn't have any contact with when he was inside the Bigg Boss house. His manager was in touch with us. But, he never complained, he never told us that Paras was unhappy with our stuff. So obviously, he was fine with it," the second girl emphasises.
And this one eats the cake! During one of their recent meetings, we are told, Taashi and/or the designer found that Paras was wearing one of the shoes they'd given him for Bigg Boss!
Taashi and her associate are now in the process of talking to Paras' mother as Paras has got busy with Swayamvar. Taashi says, "We hope this ends soon. We are stressed. Our exams are going on. We certainly did not expect this when the offer to doll him up came through a set of friends. We invested in this and stand to lose so much. It was fine as long as Akanksha paid us for October and November. As for September, we gave him complementary stuff. Paras ought to pay us for December, January and February."
Adds Taashi, "I am getting so many calls from the brands in question that I’m hardly picking any of them. We are just clueless what to do."
The accomplice continued, "Paras contacted us just one week before entering Bigg Boss 13 and we worked so hard to get things ready for him in time. The non-payment issue is so unprofessional. Never faced such a situation at work till date."
While Paras chose to not respond on Taashi and her associate's version, his spokesperson when contacted, dispatched us a text, which read as follows: "As far as we are aware it was a pure collaboration, which involved no money and only credits. We cannot comment further as Paras is away for the Swayamvar show."
When told about this, Taashi reverted, "Who will do a collaboration for only credits for over 5 months? The collaboration was for only October. Akanksha paid us for November. And mind you, Paras' demands kept increasing by the day, he was not ready to repeat outfits. Even his nightwear was arranged by us."
