Gauhar Khan's elimination from dance reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa last week probably has something to do with her new contract with Yash Raj Film. Insiders insist that the model has signed a new film with the banner and that it resulted in her exit from the show.
Shocking exit
An industry source reveals, "When Gauhar came to the show, she was one of the main contenders for winning the trophy. But in a shocking develop- ment, she was eliminated last week. Now it comes to light that she was offered one of Yash Raj Films' upcoming projects and that she signed an exclusive contract with the banner."
Airtight contract
The source adds, "YRF is known to make airtight contracts, especially with newcomers. Her contract says that she is not allowed to talk about this project in public and also states she should not to be seen in events or speak to the media anymore." Buzz is that YRF managed to get her off the show at the earliest so she could start work the film."
Ek se zyaada offer
Gauhar however sounds shocked when told of the rumours, "Oh my god! How can anybody pull strings to get me out of the show like that? I am in a contract with Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa and right now, I am working on the wild card performance, which I will give later this week on the show." When quizzed if Yash Raj has offered her a film, Gauhar simply says, "I am getting a bunch of offers. Not one banner in particular."
A spokesperson for Yash Raj Films confirms singing the model, "Yes, YRF has indeed signed Gauhar Khan as a part of an ensemble cast for one of our forthcoming films. At this point in time, we would not like to divulge any further details."
Past flicks
Gauhar has worked in two movies previously. Both bombed and she went back to modelling.
