Bipasha Basu opted out at a last minute from a Diwali special show for a television channel, when she learnt that there is no other cine star making appearance on the show. She was supposed to perform on the Diwali special named Diwali Mela Dilon Ka to promote her upcoming film All the Best. Ajay Devgan, her co-star from All The Best and also the director Rohit Shetty were part of the program, but only Bipasha had to perform. So the actress ditched the show.
A source from channel said, “Everything was set for the Diwali special, scripts were ready and the sets were done too. And although she had agreed initially, Bipasha changed her mind in the end. She felt that an actress of her calibre was only meant for the silver screen, and TV was only for those who were insecure about their career in Bollywood.”
On the other hand, Bips says, “I have never heard about this show.”
The show is kind a twelve days festival and big names from TV shows and serials are participating in it. Rajeev Khandelwal and Shweta Gulati are also part of it.
The unprofessional act is not new from Bipasha, as last year also she back out from The Unforgettables tour at last minute.
