While the organizers of the Bollywood Awards held in New York last weekend are spreading the crude word about Kangana's misdemeanours, Kangana, currently in Dubai for an event, has another story to tell.

According to eyewitnesses Bipasha Basu and Neha Dhupia refused to perform until money due to them was paid.

Shudders Kangana, "I've been to so many live performances in the last two years. But this one takes the cake. This was one of the worst organized and attended events.All of us were not paid. I put my foot down when they said the amount will be given to me after the show.

I refused to get out of my hotel room until I was paid. They paid up the money to my manager. But kept aside 1000 dollars for my costume. When my manager demanded the amount the organizer fired him, but finally paid up. But they took their revenge when I returned to my hotel room.

After my performance I was told that I had to clear my hotel bills, including food…everything. Can you believe this?! I was staying at the posh Raddisson. I didn't have that kind of money on me.

My manager explained to the hotel management that the room was booked in the organizers' names…Why was I expected to pay up my bills? Bipasha is experienced in such matters. I've to learn a lot yet."

Apparently Kangana ran up a huge phone bill from her hotel room.

Kangana laughs. "Whom would I call from New York? My sister? Is she my boyfriend that she's dying to hear my voice every hour? After seeing how these people behaved I'll think thrice before performing abroad."

Bipasha who coincidentally is also in Dubai is cautious in her declarations. "Yes there were some problems. But it would be wrong of me to talk about then since they were sorted out. But I did see Kangana facing problems.

I saw her standing outside with no makeup room. She needs to get more firm about these events. Have everything down in a contact and not on those letter-heads, please. I've been around enough. Even when I was new no one could take me for a ride."
