BookMyBai Reveals Why It Won't Offer Its Services To Bollywood Celebs, In This Tell-All Blog Post
In our busy lives, we survive because of the support of our domestic staff. When the maid takes chutti for a day, we come to realise how much she does for us. But sadly, many a time, they aren't given the respect they deserve.
BookMyBai, a platform through which home owners can hire a domestic help online, has now put a blanket ban on providing services to celebrities altogether. The decision comes after the CEO, Anupam Sinhal took to the organisation's blog to share horrific stories of how some celebrities have mistreated their domestic help.

BookMyBai, a platform through which home owners can hire a domestic help online, has now put a blanket ban on providing services to celebrities altogether. The decision comes after the CEO, Anupam Sinhal took to the organisation's blog to share horrific stories of how some celebrities have mistreated their domestic help.
A 40-year-old helper who worked at the house of a known celebrity refused to speak on the issue. However, ScoopWhoop got in touch with her son who told us,
They used to throw parties till 3 am and would give her dinner only after that. My mother is old. The lifestyle didn't suit her, so she left the job after working for 15 days.
Sinhal told ScoopWhoop,
I am not trying to tarnish individuals here, instead I want to bring out the truth about the industry itself. It's a generalisation, but since the majority of experiences have actually been bad, I think it was safe to stop providing services to them altogether.
Most of the workforce, according to Sinhal comes from remote areas of Maharashtra and North eastern parts of India. These women, albeit exploited, do not move the court against their employers because they are too scared. They fear they would not get work or their families would call them back. The police aren't too helpful in some cases.
While these are mere allegations and no names have been listed in the post, it does present a grim reality of how we treat our domestic staff. The rising number of cases leaves us with just one question, why is it that difficult for us to treat people with respect?
