Bengaluru: Bollywood actor Bipasha Basu has got herself stuck in a controversy after she participated in the International Yoga Day celebrations held in Bengaluru last month.

After the Yoga Day celebration, the private organisers have reportedly raised a bill of Rs 45 lakh for ‘Bend it like Bipasha’ programme that did not even last for an hour on the stage.

Now, the Karnataka government has reportedly refused to pay the bills. But, sources close to Bipasha have denied the news stating that the actor had attended the event only with the aim of promoting yoga and creating awareness on health and physical fitness amongst the youth.
