NEW DELHI: Bollywood actress Bipasha Basu has been accused of unprofessional behaviour by the organisers of a UK-based fashion show, a charge the actress denies. Basu, who is currently in London with husband Karan Singh Grover, was supposed to walk as the showstopper for the fashion show but she allegedly did not honour the commitment. According to the talent scout of the show, Ronita Sharma Rekhi's Facebook post, the actress "wanted her husband to fly out to London with her and wanted their stay be extended to five nights, which was originally for three nights only." Ronita, without mentioning Bipasha's name in her post, further claimed that the actress asked the organisers to pay for their entire stay otherwise "she will not do our event so now this is like a gun point situation." Ronita claims the actress eventually did not turn up for the show. However, taking to Twitter, Bipasha, 38, rubbished Ronita's claims and said, "a con woman talking utter rubbish about my work ethics."

Hearing about a con woman talking utter rubbish about my work ethics and some section of the media giving them space too.

Amid the social media war, Bipasha's spokesperson in a statement said: Bipasha has always had a spotless reputation for more than 15 years in the industry and has been a thorough professional. Unfortunately, the organisers didn’t honour their commitment as promised in terms of hospitality and logistics , on landing Bipasha had to book her own hotel stay. What happened was completely unprofessional on the organisers part. (With inputs from PTI)
