Amyra Dastur was supposed to walk the ramp at a fashion week in Mysore on September 18, 2016. However, Ms Dastur didn’t reach the ramp. Why you ask?

She backed out of the fashion week at the last minute and later refused to return the advance amount as well. This incident left all the organizers in a fix and they had to arrange for a new showstopper.

Apparently, it was due to the lack of coordination and communication between Amyra’s management agency and the organizers of the show. The management agency wrongly communicated the travel details to the organizers and this resulted in the last minute cancellation by Amyra.

Her agent informed the organizers one day prior to the event that the actress will fly only business class in one of the premium airlines. She also refused to fly in the premium class of a fairly moderate airline.

After all of this, the B-town starlet seized the advance amount she had received to be the showstopper of the fashion show.

SpotboyE.com spoke to designer Jayanthi Ballal, who is the designer and the organizer of the show. Harrowed as she was, she said, "Amyra Dastur backed out at the last minute, which has caused damage to our property. If she had an issue with the tickets she should have mentioned it clearly beforehand or raised a question when the travel details were being discussed. It is extremely unethical of anyone to back out from a pre-planned show at the last minute. We had to bear a huge loss due to this. The sari brands involved in the show have sued us for the same. We have worked with celebs in the past as well and it is utterly distasteful of any such celebrity who backs out this way."

Meanwhile, Amyra and her management company have still not budged from their decision to keep the advance amount. It definitely is a poor portrayal of professionalism.
