Skipped Dubai for personal reasons

On December 3, in an article that spoke about Anil's over the top demands, we told you how following the actor's rather expensive list of requirements, the organisers of a Bollywood event in Dubai dropped him from the guest list. Following the article, the organisers got in touch with us to say that: "As per industry norms, all stars who travel for events either paid or unpaid are extended certain courtesies which traditionally include air tickets for the actor and his accompanying staff as well as ground transport and hotel stay."
     They told us that Anil Kapoor's requirements weren't a one-off. They in fact stated: "Anil is one of the easiest and most professional stars to work with. He doesn't have any unusual demands and travels with a very small entourage. And he did not attend this award ceremony because of personal reasons as his mother was admitted to hospital."
