Dubai:
The Bangkok shoot of Paritossh Painter's debut flick Paying Guests was delayed because Neha Dhupia was unable to reach the location on time due to excessive partying the previous day.

The sets of Paying Guests is a scene of high drama thanks to Celina Jaitly, Riya Sen and Neha Dhupia. None of the girls are getting along with each other.

Latecoming queen

According to a source from the unit, "Apart from having catfights with Celina in Bangkok, Neha was the hot topic of conversation because she failed to report for the shooting of the film. This irritated her co-stars who were kept waiting endlessly.

Neha had taken a day off to fly to Dubai for a show. The unit was expecting her the following day and her scenes were planned along with the other cast members but she missed her flight after a night of partying."

She was supposed to return to Bangkok immediately after the show, but she ended up taking two days off.

Counters Neha, "I don't drink. I don't even know what alcohol tastes like. Unlike other actors, I don't even do drugs. I did reach late because I missed my flight and there was some miscommunication between the airline and me."

The source continues, "She didn't turn up in Bangkok as committed, and she didn't even inform the crew about the delay. They kept trying to reach her but they only managed to get through to her the next day and she said she couldn't return on time because she had to stay back because she missed her flight."

Making up for lost time

The director Paritossh says, "Yes, Neha missed her flight, so the schedule went haywire. But once she returned to Bangkok she stayed back an extra day and we were able to wrap up the song."

Currently, the cast and crew are shooting in Mumbai with Aashish Choudhry and Neha. The schedule wraps on August 14.
