It's wartime in Bollywood again. Recently, Tanushree Dutta's secretary, Bhola, turned hostile towards
her, accusing her of unceremoniously sacking him from the job. The poor guy is so miffed up that he
is all set to send a legal notice to the actor alleging breach of contract.
Says Bholaram Malviya, "She terminated my contract without giving me a six month notice as stated
in the contract. I would really like to know the reason for termination of my contract. I want to be paid
compensation for six months. My remuneration is equal to 10 per cent of her performances."
Dutta, who has just signed Priyanka Chopra's ex- Business Manager, Prakash Jaju for the job,
however claims that: "I sacked him for neglecting my work and for lack of conduct. After Aashiq
Banaya Aapne and Chocolate released, he showed a complete lack of involvement in my work, I was
almost on my own.
Even people trying to get in touch with me couldn't do so because his lack of communication and
inefficiency. It defeats the purpose of a secy. I warned him but he just didn't improve his method of
working."
If that's the case, how in the world Dutta managed to bag such good banner films so early in her
career. Sheer luck, is it?
She's quick to retort, "I would say that I am still a very simple and a shy person but very hardworking
too. Most of the work I have is all because of personally pursuing my career. There's not been much
involvement from Bhola."
Ask her how she manages to do all the steamy scenes despite her shy persona and she reveals, " I
am not at all comfortable doing hot scenes but due to professional commitments I am supposed to do
it. If some scenes are only shot to arouse the sexuality of men, I will never do them.
