Kangana Ranaut, the small-town-girl-with- big-city-dreams and lots of tantrums, has recently fleeced organizer at the Bollywood Awards in New York in a true diva style.

Kangana demanded that she be paid US $1,000 (approximately Rs 40,000) for the show outfits and on top of that ran up a phone bill at the Radisson Hotel where she had been put up of another US $1,000.

Says an artist coordinator with the show, "Kangana demanded money for the costumes just a day before the show. The organisers weren't obliged to pay her as nothing of such sort was written in the contract, but justbecause she threw a tantrum at the nth hour, they didn't have any choice but to cough up $1,000."

Whats more is that the day after the show, Kangana was supposed to check out with the rest of the artistes who had come to New York, but she left the hotel without informing anybody, Diva ish-tylle getting the organisers worried. She had checked out in the morning and had taken a flight to Dubai.

The final blow came with the organisers being handed a phone bill of $1,000 when they were clearing the dues for Kangana's room.

Kangana's business manager Jay Shrikant says that the organiser (Kamal Dandona) was to pay us 1000 dollars for her outfit. But they didn't.
