With Bollywood's two biggest awards - Zee Cine Awards and IIFAs - round the corner show organisers like Cineyug and Wizcraft are running around making sure their ceremony has the biggest stars and the highest turnout.
However, it isn't as simple as getting the A-listers on an aeroplane to the said destination! Organisers tell us that they foot the bill of not just the actor or actress in question but also their entourage which includes partners, body guards and security personnel, stylists and make up artists to name a few!
In the case of the upcoming Zee Cine Awards actors such as Salman Khan, Shahrukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Kareena Kapoor, Akshay Kumar have all agreed to perform. "All stars travel at our cost. Each star demands different flight tickets to suit their schedule. Obviously they travel business or First Class!" says an official.
And if you think its only Jennifer Lopez who has hospitality demands think again! "We get all sorts of requests about room types. From beds to pillows to food...everything is as per star specification."
Also if you follow Bollywood closely, you will notice that are stars rarely travel alone. From bodyguards to make up artists all are a part of the B-Town brigade who enjoy a fully paid holiday! Here are some of the Bollywood's biggest names and their even bigger entourage:
Shah Rukh Khan
When it comes to SRK, wife Gauri always accompanies him to big award ceremonies. SRK's personal bodyguard Yaseen and other security personnel as well as close friends like Mustaq Sheikh too form a part of his clan.
