The wild card contestants of Salman Khan-hosted Bigg Boss 10 have been in news ever since they were announced. While Elena Kazan is already out, British-born nude model-actor Jason Shah is creating ripples with his controversial statements.
After making a string of tactless comments on fellow inmate Mona Lisa, Shah went on to reveal how Katrina Kaif is to blame for his short role in Fitoor, BollywoodLife reported. While in conversation with Nitibha Kaul and Manveer Gurjar, Shah said his part in the Abhishek Kapoor-directed film was cut to size because Kaif had asked the filmmaker to reshoot a chunk of the romantic-drama after she had shed a few kilos.
According to reports from earlier this year, the leading lady only wanted a particular scene reshot because she thought her lean frame would look better, in the process forcing the makers to spend some extra money. However, these are mere speculations and the reports were neither denied nor confirmed.
Ideally, Shah shouldn't be bothered about his part being reduced because it wasn't as if Fitoor did fantastic business at the box office and is being remembered for its content. Even though it was a visually appealing film that was shot in the picturesque Kashmir, Fitoor didn't connect with the audience.
For now, Shah should focus on delivering a stellar performance on BB10 and may be that will help him land job offers sometime in the near future.
In other news, Shah also needs to keep a handle on the way he addresses women. The actor-model had some very nasty words for Mona Lisa. "He says that Mona is a Bhojpuri actress and must have dated a lot of other men. But she's never had the luck to date a firangi and now she wants one which is why she is trying to hit on Jason," an insider informed DNA.
