Bipasha's
Open
Letter
Shedding
light
on
the
incident,
Bipasha,
in
an
open
letter,
said,
"The
deal
was
made
with
a
set
of
agreed
conditions.
However,
when
I
landed
there
for
the
project
as
planned,
I
realised
that
the
organisers
hadn't
honoured
their
end
of
the
bargain,
in
spite
of
confirming
with
my
manager
that
they
had."
Never
Was
I
Treated
So
Badly
Having
agreed
to
travel
on
a
hospitality
deal,
Bipasha
said
that
"never
was
I
treated
so
badly".
"My
self-respect
holds
the
highest
value
and
I
refuse
to
be
a
victim
of
bullying
or
arm-twisting.''
They
Expected
Me
To
Hold
True
To
My
End
Of
The
Bargain
''They
expected
me
to
hold
true
to
my
end
of
the
bargain,
whereas
they
had
completely
defaulted
at
their
end," she
added.
The
organisers
claimed
they
suffered
loss
of
7,800
pounds,
apart
from
Bipasha's
travel
expenses,
but
the
actress
refuted
it.
I
Never
Experienced
Such
A
Callous
Treatment
"Contrary
to
rumours,
as
soon
as
I
landed
in
London,
we
made
our
own
hotel
bookings
and
I
also
immediately
rebooked
our
own
travel.
Being
a
part
of
the
Bollywood
fraternity,
I've
never
experienced
such
a
callous
and
high-handed
treatment
before.''
I
Backed
Off
From
The
Event
''So
instead
of
creating
a
scene
there,
I
chose
to
keep
the
high
ground
and
backed
off
from
the
event."
It
Is
Only
Natural
To
Opt
Out
Of
The
Deal
Admitting
that
her
actions
might
have
hurt
some
people,
she
said,
"I
believe
we
all
have
the
right
to
stand
by
our
self-respect
and
choose
to
walk
away
from
humiliating
situations."
She
also
said
that
when
terms
and
conditions
aren't
met,
"it
is
only
natural
and
professional
to
opt
out
of
the
deal".
