December 30, 2010 : Bollywood actress Rani Mukerji was so angry with her new lady designer for giving her an ill-fitted ghaghra to wear on stage that she did not think twice before firing her. What is more, the actress vented her anger on the girl in front of a large gathering which included media personnel as well. Reports suggest that Rani Mukerji had to leave the stage midway through her performance many a time as she felt that the skirt of her costume would slip down from her waist while matching steps to the songs playing in the background. Though the actress remained composed throughout her performance, she could not mask her anger after entering backstage at the end of the show.
Rani Mukerji normally gets her costumes stitched by designers Sabyasachi Mukherjee or Neeta Lulla, this was the only time she chose the particular girl to design her stage outfit, little expecting such a blunder to occur at the very wrong moment.
The media noticed a teary – eyed designer leaving the venue of the Big Star Entertainment Awards in Mumbai after Rani Mukerji’s wardrobe malfunction, well almost! The actress was however not repentant about her chastising act in front of the media. According to Rani Mukerji’s statements, she was “humiliated” onstage and thus did the right thing in showing her designer the door!
