This is what Bipasha Basu told the organisers of a recent fashion week, throwing them into a tizzy. Bipasha Basu, Chitrangada Singh and Madhur Bhandrakar were set to walk the ramp for the grand finale of a recently concluded couture week in Delhi. But the plan went up in smoke.
Bipasha who made her Bollywood debut with the 2003 release “Ajnabee,” told the organisers of the event that she will not share the stage with Chitrangada, a “junior” actor since she had started her career four years later with “Hazaron Khawishen Aisi.”
The organiser went into a state of panic, when no amount of pleas could convince Bipasha to change her stance. She even made it clear to the them that she would not rehearse with the junior in question. Left with no option, the jewellery brand that had invited the trio, changed the choreography of the finale.
A source from the show said: “Bipasha, Chitrangada and Madhur took solo turns on the ramp. Bipasha’s stance was absolutely shocking.”
While Bipasha and Chitrangada remained unavailable for comment, the organiser Sunil Sethi said: “I didn’t have any control over this segment as it was put together by the jewellery brand. What the stars did was their decision. I was surprised not to see them taking the final bow together. Bipasha’s secretary informed my team that she had certain objections.
Chitrangada started the show in a black gown accessorised with a statement neckpiece, while Bipasha was dressed in a lehenga (traditional Indian dress) with diamond jewellery.
