The oomph belle of Bollywood was given an economy class air ticket to Mauritius by the organizers of the show. It turned out that many Bollywood celebrities were on the flight and the executive class tickets were all booked up.

Media reports also say that Mallika was also offered an option to fly to the show venue in Shah Rukh Khan ’s private chartered flight. But the Sherawat girl refused this offer too.

Another source says that Mallika wanted to take along with her a good number of people like her bodyguards, her manicurist, pedicurist and some relatives to the show. As the organizers couldn’t afford the entire entourage, Mallika dropped out of the show.
