This might be bad news for every Big B fans. With fashion designers Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla deciding to back out of the HDIL India Couture Week at the last minute, Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan will not be the showstopper for the forthcoming gala event.



Abu Jani and Khosla have withdrawn from the fashion week citing disrespect shown by the staff of the company managing the event.

The designer duo told in a statement, "We regret this announcement on the eve of our show, but cannot risk our guests being offended due to unorganized seating.

After 23 years in the business, of perfecting craftsmanship and customer service it was better to withdraw based on principle rather than risk a show."

On the other hand, the organizers too are sad with the development and have termed the designers’ duo's exit as "unprofessional" which has resulted in the event getting delayed by a day.

The organizers told in a statement, "To back out a day before their show is most unprofessional and disappointing. The rest of the event will continue as per the schedule and the couture week will now begin on Monday."

Apart from Big B and his Cheeni Kum co-star Tabu as the showstoppers, stars like Abhishek Bachchan, Hrithik and Suzanne Roshan were to walk the ramp for the couturists who were to kick start the fashion week tomorrow.
