Astronomical figures!

Bipasha Basu got Rs 90 lakh for her New Year performance at a Mumbai hotel. Well, eyebrows were raised and paparazzi headlines made as Bips charged double her normal amount for the special event. Now, take a deep breath, don’t sip your morning cuppa for you might just choke on it and listen to this: Sherlyn Chopra is getting Rs 35-40 lakh for an event she will be dancing at in Delhi! If your reaction was ‘Sherlyn who?’ and ‘what for?’, come join the club. The girl who is attempting to single-handedly solve India’s clothing problem by hardly wearing any, told DT, “I am getting more than a lakh for every minute I will be on stage.” Considering the Malaikas, Tanushrees and Koenas of the world get about Rs 8-12 lakh for their performances and even Bipasha, Kareena and Mallika command something like Rs 30-40 lakh, why is Sherlyn suddenly being skyrocketed to this new category? You can safely blame the hormonally charged Delhi males for this. “Well, they expect something hot from me. The last segment of the show will be something close to a striptease,” Sherlyn reveals. Now the million dollar question is: Will Rakhi Sawant, who is also performing at the same event, be upstaged by a woman who seems to have borrowed her USP of ‘a quote a minute while revealing more than concealing’?
