Actor Upen Patel CHEATED

Professional disputes between an actor and event organisers is a common thing. But when the actors are unceremoniously dropped from their events, it becomes a big issue.

And one of the latest victims of such an issue is actor Upen Patel. The actor was scheduled to make an appearance at an event in Surat, but the event was cancelled and was informed about the same at the end moment.

Says a disappointed Upen, "I was booked for yesterday's event. In fact, I chose this even at Jahangirpur in Surat, over an event in Indore, just to meet my Surat Fans. I had even blocked my dates. The organisers asked me to even promote the event and I did so too, from my personal social media accounts. But the night before, they called me up at 11pm, before I was to leave for Surat, informed me about the cancellation and cut the call."

Continued Upen, "In such an instance, if I am cancelling an event after committing to it, I'll have to compensate the organisers. But here, they've straight away denied to compensate me as they cancelled. The organisers were also very rude about it. There has to be some professional ethic and courtesy but these organisers have none of them. They can not take an artist for granted."

Upen has not yet decided on a course of action against the organisers.
