Tantrum King Arjun Rampal Says ‘SHUT UP’ To Dubai Stylist
Arjun Rampal was in Dubai to promote Daddy and he was being styled for free. All he had to do was give a shout-out to the stylists. But instead he was rude to them. However, folks present with the actor had a different story to tell. Versions from Dubai galore. Read on...
Arjun Rampal was in Dubai recently on a two-day
promotional tour of his gangster drama Daddy. While he was all smiles for the
camera, there was drama unfolding behind the scenes.

The experience left a bitter taste in the mouth of Zeenat
Jaffer of Z Haus, who has worked with names like Shah Rukh Khan, Alia Bhatt,
Mahira Khan and Fawad Khan in the past.
Z Haus sponsored the styling of Arjun during the tour and
in exchange, all he had to do was shoot a media byte promoting the brand.

But after the two-day tour was wrapped up, Arjun refused
to fulfil the promise. When he was requested to do a quick media byte, the star
got irritated and screamed at the manager of Z Haus: ‘Shut Up’.
We spoke to Zeenat and this is what she had to say.
“We sponsored the styling for the promotional tour of his
film Daddy in Dubai. We do that for free and then the star has the obligation
to support us by giving us a media byte. My manager kept requesting him and
then he finally turned around, first he said, ‘Keep Quiet’ and then he said
‘Shut up’.”

“We sponsored all the make-up and hair, we bore the cost.
We just want the star to give a shout-out to us which we then share on our
social media platforms and in our campaigns. Just a line like ‘Z Haus Rocks’,
that’s all. He was quite rude. First, we thought that he would do it after the
event wraps up but he just refused,” said Zeenat.
Syed Imad , CEO of Dream Advertising And Ministry Of
Events, who was responsible for local promotions in Dubai and hiring the
make-up and hair dismissed
the sequence of events and said, "None of this happened. We were together and Arjun
was extremely professional. In fact, Arjun went the extra mile in obliging his
fans and everyone during his visit.”
B4U head, Sunil Shah, said, "I was with Arjun
throughout this promotional tour and none of this happened. Arjun was extremely
polite and courteous to everyone, especially the team and entourage that was
assigned to him. He took pictures with everyone and was very cooperative. In
fact, when we went on our sponsor and media visits, he was so professional and
won over everyone's hearts."
That was not all, Zeenat went on to add, Arjun had way too many demands.
“We do all the major events in Dubai. Usually the
drill is, we do the styling and we come back. But he wanted our staff to be
there on standby, for both the days. There were many locations, he went to the
radio station, to the mall etc etc and my staff was with him throughout,” said
Zeenat.
Zeenat was shocked by the ungracious behaviour of Arjun
as bigger stars had graciously said kind words for Z Haus on camera.
“Shah Rukh Khan, Mahira Khan, Fawad Khan, Alia Bhatt we
have all their media bytes. Kanika Kapoor is my client, she pays for our
services and has given us a shou-out. This is the first time that a star has
said ‘No’ and not just refused but also said ‘Shut up’,” said a shocked Zeenat.
