This forum is a little unusual. So I need to step carefully.
Firstly introductions.
I am Daidalus its has been a long time since I posted on this site and never on this forum so my knowledge is a little out of date but I am willing to share none the less.
There would seem to be a lot of activity here but no real information. Perhaps like the other sections of this site one of the regulars might consider writing a newbies guide to Chennai.
Since there is obviously action to be had there.
I will most likely be in your city some time in the near future and if nothing has been published by then I will take it upon myself to compose such a guide. Since I am sure I will make all the mistakes expats make. Maybe I will be able to help other avoid them.
Damages for the famous actress
[QUOTE=EatPrayLove;1594186]Am guessing the famous actress you refer to is the one who services from a studio in Vadapalani right? What's the damage like nowadays pal?[/QUOTE]First time it was 14 K for me through the SP (Saying 10 K for her, 2 K for room, 2 k for sp).
2nd time (Gap of 3 months after first), I went directly without SP. I failed to negotiate in advance thinking that it would be (at the maximum) same fees minus SP's cut / fees.
Surprised with the demand for 20 which was eventually kept at 14 K.
It turned out that it was for one shot and not 1 Hour & 2 Shots as earlier availed through SP.
Either, increase in fees (or) I failed to negotiate in advance.
I take the later and a lesson learnt.
I feel, the damages paid may be high.
May be there was no sharing of damages in the FR's (or I failed to notice it).
