5 Celebs of Bollywood Who Fired Their Managers
Being a Bollywood celebrity means that you are constantly surrounded by the media and your fans. It doesn't really matter whether you are a big star or a celebrity who is just a one-hit wonder, the mere association with the film industry means that you have a huge following and your actions are always under the scanner. Being a well-recognized personality also means that you constantly are flooded with offers, be it from film, TV or the brands for advertisements.
It also means that somebody has got to take care of your business relations and other professional aspects of your career while you work. Somebody has to be the first person to contact if anyone wishes to offer you anything or wants to discuss a proposal with you. It is here when the role of manager and talent management and PR agencies gains a lot of importance and almost all the celebs hence have a manager or an agency managing their portfolio. But more than once, we have seen actors firing their managers or agencies and the fights sometimes take ugly turns. Here are 5 celebs who fired their managers:
