Some celebrities will go to any extent to make an additional buck. Or so does it seem.

We all remember Malaika Arora's blatant lies to the tabloid Mumbai Mirror where in order to create pre-event hype for a brand she was endorsing, she told senior Bollywood journalist and 'friend' Vickey Lalwani that she was divorcing her husband of many years – Aarbaz Khan.

The next day, however, the cat was out of the bag. It was just a publicity stunt and both Malaika Arora and Aarbaz were very much together. Mumbai Mirror went out of their way to blast Malaika Arora for her scheming ways.

This time around Malaika Arora seems to have clean forgotten her telephonic conversation and SMS messages exchanged between her, her secretary Dipali and freelance journalist and Celebrity Media Manager, Flynn Remedios just about a week ago.

According to a report published in a Delhi tabloid, Malaika seems to be heading for a fresh bout of trouble.

The actress, along with her manager, faces a possible ban from the yet- to-be-registered, Cine & TV Artiste Managers' & Secretaries' Forum following accusations that she refused to intervene after Car Maker Audi and their officials bypassed event agents and artiste managers to sign a deal with her for attending their launch party to be held on 7th November 2008 at the German Embassy in Delhi.

"It's a matter of ethics it's not just about the money. Malaika should have interceded because we personally spoke to her first and informed her about the deal.

Our celebrity agents worked hard to fix up all the details, including tentative date blockings, during the Diwali holidays. But then, the officials of Audi approached her directly claiming she is a family friend of the company's VP.

As a result, the agents involved were denied their due commission, " alleges Flynn Remedios, CEO, Futuristic Media Network and convener of the Cine & TV Artiste Managers' & Secretaries' Forum (CAMS).

According to Remedios, Audi officials through their Ad Agency, which was initially co-ordinating the event had asked them to contact Mallika Sherawat, Katrina Kaif, Mandira Bedi, Sophie Chowdhry and half a dozen other celebrities.

"We were asked to find out their professional fees, availability, tax issues, payment terms, travel, security and accommodation requirements, etc. For about two weeks a colleague was on the job. We were also working during the Diwali holidays.

It was not just Malaika. Audi and their Ad Agency had planned to fly several Bollywood personalities to Delhi for the event and wanted to know how much it would cost them, " said Flynn Remedios, adding that when Audi got all the required information, they went directly to Malaika and Sophie and booked them directly.

However, an honest and upright Sophie insisted that the agent who had contacted her first would be part of the deal and even offered to pay her a commission from her own pocket. But not Malaika! She even denied having spoken to Flynn Remedios.

CAMS has sent a formal complaint letter to the Cine Artiste's Association against Malaika and has also dashed out legal notices both to Malaika Arora and Audi.

Both Malaika and Audi claimed that they haven't received the notices with good reason, as legal notices are normally sent by Registered AD, which takes about 3-6 days for delivery, according to CAMS sources.

"We are also submitting a memorandum to Suryakant Mahadik, President, Bharatiya Kamgar Sena (BKS), of the Shiv Sena that controls the Film and allied Bollywood unions, on the issue, " adds Flynn.

Moreover, CAMS and Futuristic Media Network have also written a letter to the Chairman and members of the Board of Audi and their group company against what they term as "corruption, unethical and unfair practices of the company.

All over the world, it is a known fact that when an agent or co-ordinator is involved, he or she has to be paid the agents' commission.

Had Audi to even acknowledge our contribution, we would not have taken this step. But they told us that they had 'dropped' Malaika and then went and booked her directly. They are a bunch of blatant liars, " said an agitated Remedios.

Even some conscientious officials of the Ad Agency handling the event were upset and aghast with the way certain Audi officials behaved. "Apparently, nobody at Audi India wanted to take any kind of responsibility for this fiasco, " said Flynn.

We think that one of the car firm's managers is getting a kickback from Malaika's manager since both of them were hand-in-glove in denying the deal and tried very hard to keep it under wraps.

Rightfully, the commission should have come to us for working hard on the deal. It seems to us that 'our commission' is being shared between Malaika's manager Dipali and one of Audi's officials as both of them refused to speak to us or sort out the matter with us, " alleged Flynn.

When contacted, Malaika Arora not surprisingly denied everything.

"I have no idea what you are talking about. I am myself a member of the Cine Artiste Association and if there had been an issue, they would have surely contacted me. I don't know anything about it, " she claimed.

Speaking to another journalist, she even claimed that she had never heard of a person named Flynn Remedios. Coincidently, the same Flynn Remedios was about a year ago involved in organizing an event called Ms Bikini India and had personally met Malaika and her secretary Dipali as they wanted her to perform and compere the Ms Bikini Event. Maybe Malaika's age is taking a toll on her memory too.
