KASH for CASH!
Neither for gaining popularity, nor for screen presence; neither for any hype nor for anything else did Kashmera Shah shed her clothes, blindfolded herself and got a body massage done by 12 boys on national TV. The reason she offers - "Money".
The reality show, Superstud, School of Flirt, offered her a huge amount, which she couldn't not refuse, "And what's wrong in it if on the small screen I am able to make the same amount of money as any leading Bollywood actor does by acting in films," comes from
Kashmera, who was in the city on Saturday to walk as a showstopper.
