Daaru Desi and Tumhi Ho
Bandhu were the two numbers she was
asked to perform for which she was being offered the sum in question. The organizing
committee of the awards show also claimed that it was the amount that they
offered to a debutant.
Then why did Diana Penty refuse
the Rs. 40 lakhs that was being offered to her? Did she want to have an even
heftier pay check? Or was she being too ambitious? Well, as a matter of fact, Diana
Penty was in no position to accept the offer as she was bound by a contract
already. That is what denied her the permission to go ahead.
The awards show was during the
same period as that of the brand event for which was supposed to be present
already. Diana Penty had no option but to reject the offer. It was due to pure
helplessness that the actress had to refuse the offer.
