Yana Gupta's costume drama

Yana Gupta was thrown out of at an award function over a dispute with organisers about costumes.

Not long ago, Yana Gupta was in the news for appearing at an event panty-less. Yet again, the drop-dead diva has come into the media spotlight over a costume dispute!

Gupta was supposed to perform at an award function that was to honour women. Shashi Ranjan, the organiser of the award ceremony, said, "Yana was to perform at the award function, on February 7th, in Delhi.

During her rehearsals too she would throw a lot of tantrums. On 6th morning, the whole crew was to fly down to Delhi, for the award function and on the 5th night, Yana refused to wear the costume designed by the designer assigned by us.

She wanted us to hire her designer and pay him Rs. 40,000. Not only this, she asked us to pay Rs. 20,000 to her staff as well. Just a day before we were supposed to fly to Delhi, she issued this like a threat, thinking I would give in to her demands.

This was very unprofessional on her behalf. If it was a genuine complaint, I definitely would have taken care. But this kind of attitude I have never yielded to.

So I asked her to leave. We had booked everything for her stay in Delhi, but now we have to replace her. TV actress, Jasvir Kaur, will now perform instead of her."

Gupta's spokesperson said, "This is to clarify that Yana has not backed out of the show at all. There was an issue with the costume they had made and we kept trying to reach the team so we could sort it.

However, they did not respond to calls or mails and the next thing we found out was someone else was performing. Yana is very professional and has never been unreasonable or difficult."
