It seems that there has been an inadvertent miscommunication in regards with the [email protected] +91 98194 13143 completion of the article published. We apologise for this and any amount of misunderstand- TINA THAKRAR ing that it may have lead to. [email protected] +91 98330 70759 When this was brought to the notice of Roshan, he has clarified the matter through an email to ExM, which follows: HEAD - BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT: ARNOB BANERJEE Dear Karishma, [email protected] +91 98195 40004 The scenario as it stands on the last Roshandaan article is that this piece was not meant to be Roshan- MARKETING SERVICES TEAM: daan at all. On the cover story of events and vendors I had sent you notes on my inputs. This was JIMMY CHOUDHARY published without a final approval from me and as such is an unedited version of my notes. I am not [email protected] +91 98214 28197 upset at it being printed, but more that if I knew this was to be printed verbatim I would have made changes and completed the piece as this is horribly incomplete as an article too.

After the publishing of the item I have received calls from Devendar ji denying the [email protected] +91 98999 16415 story and as you have said Michael is quite upset at the story too and he has denied its veracity. I had no intention of hurting Michael, I hold him and Showtime in high regard and Devendar ji has been CLIENT SERVICING: almost a father figure for Encompass. Rumours and legends abound around all our agencies. My point- KHUSSHBU OJHA ing out this incident is not to malign either Showtime or Modern stage, we too have been guilty of the [email protected] +91 86555 57500 same as an agency. We have had projectors that haven’t worked, watchout projection that has failed, and mikes that haven’t worked. And we have not paid partners for the same as we have not been paid PARUL MALHOTRA by a client for it too.
