Bips
stages
walkout
at
a
recent
event.
Wasn't
the
first
time,
won't
be
the
last!
Bipasha
Basu's
tantrums
are
growing
quite
frequent.
Most
recently,
she
stomped
out
of
a
dealers'
convention
(organised
by
a
brand
she
endorses)
in
Ahmedabad
on
Sunday
night,
after
committing
to
it.
Reveals
a
source
present
at
the
event,
"Bipasha
was
to
make
an
appearance
and
the
organisers
were
to
pay
her
attendance
fees
immediately
after.
She
would
be
expected
to
attend,
sit
in
for
an
hour,
meet
contest
winners,
give
out
prizes
on
stage,
do
some
photo-ops
and
leave.
The
actress
came
in
more
than
an
hour
late.
Nobody
knows
why."
Quick
exit
That
wasn't
all.
The
source
adds
that
because
Bipasha
had
come
in
late,
she
could
only
meet
half
the
contest
winners.
The
event
had
started
without
her,
She
refused
to
wait
for
an
hour
saying
she
was
in
a
hurry
and
had
to
leave.
The
event
managers
and
the
brand
folk
refused.
The
actress
got
up,
almost
rudely
ticking
them
off
and
stomped
out
to
her
car.
In
fact,
she
was
so
upset
that
she
even
left
her
managers
behind
before
anyone
could
even
react!"
She
soon
had
a
change
of
heart.
Adds
the
source,
"After
driving
halfway,
Bips
called
the
organisers
and
told
them
that
she
wanted
to
come
back
but
by
that
time
everyone
had
had
enough
of
her
moody,
cranky
behaviour.
They
politely
told
her
that
they
didn't
need
her.
They
had
spoken
to
Malaika
Arora
Khan
who
was
already
present
there
(she
was
performing
at
the
event)
and
she
had
agreed
to
step
into
Bipasha's
shoes.
In
fact,
the
organisers
are
so
livid
with
Ms
Basu
that
they
have
even
held
her
appearance
payment
back.
You
can't
come
to
an
event,
insult
people
and
walk
away!"
A
nightmare
A
source
close
to
Bipasha
says,
"It
was
a
logistical
nightmare.
There
was
a
long
waiting
period
between
the
two
activities
she
was
supposed
to
do.
The
event
was
within
a
certain
timeline
and
it
was
one
of
those
rare
occasions
where
everything
didn't
fall
in
place.
She
wasn't
late
for
the
event
nor
was
the
event
delayed
because
of
her."
The
source
insists
that
it
wasn't
anybody's
fault
-
not
the
organisers,
nor
Bipasha's
nor
the
brand
she
endorses.
"It's
unfortunate
that
this
happened
and
the
onus
is
always
on
the
artist
to
spearhead
the
course
of
events
which
follow
after
that.
Bips
was
the
artist
involved
so
unfortunately,
the
onus
comes
to
her.
If
everyone
had
kept
their
cool,
this
unfortunate
incident
wouldn't
have
taken
place."
Why
did
she
leave
her
managers
stranded
at
the
event?
"Bipasha
took
one
of
her
managers
as
she
normally
does.
But
most
people
would
think
she
left
the
whole
team
behind,
which
is
not
true."
