Ronit Roy, the blue- eyed boy of Ekta Kapoor who has been faithful to her through thick and thin, has been ousted from the Star Parivaar Awards to be held on May 17.
The main reason behind the ouster is his demand of Rs 10 lakhs for performing on the occasion. Balaji's officials thought it to be too much and decided to replace him by some other actor to perform in his place.
Though Ekta Kapoor has now roped in Shalin Bhanot ( Madan of Sangam) to perform on Don's number 'Main Hoon Don' at the awards function, the czarina is said to be mighty upset with Ronit for refusing to do the act at the last moment. According to Balaji sources, initially Ronit had given his assent to perform on Don's number and it was only later that he quoted the figure of Rs 10 lakhs, which was not acceptable to them and they opted for his replacement.
