Bollywood Blind Item
The Miserly Megastar
Not only is he Bollywood’s most versatile actor working currently, he’s also got a keen eye for the best scripts. Reams of newsprint have been expended discussing his virtues, but co-stars on the set of his latest film complain of his one bad habit—his reluctance to share.
A star-kid shooting with him on their new project liked the senior actor’s hairstyle so much, he reportedly asked his manager to check with the actor’s stylist if he’d work on his hair too. The stylist in question, who was recruited to travel with the senior actor to the foreign location they were shooting at, asked the boss if he could take on the younger actor’s work, expecting a positive response. But he was surprised when the senior star asked him to make an excuse and decline the job. Turns out the older star wasn’t thrilled with the idea of sharing his staff.
When twice the stylist made lame excuses to avoid working with the younger actor, the star kid allegedly approached the older actor directly and asked if he could employ the stylist’s services. Now in an awkward position, the senior star said it was up to the stylist if he had the time. And that’s how the younger actor was finally able to get his way and how the stylist got to earn a second salary.
