Bollywood ...

X was known in the industry for the "No money, no work" principle. Once, when X was shooting with M.V. Raman for a film, the director, Raman, owed X Rs.5000.  X , however agreed to do the scene (going against the policy).  But, when the shooting started, X walked across the floor and, each time X walked a few places, X said, Paanch Hazzar Rupaiya (five thousand rupees) and did a somersault. After X reached the end of the floor, X went out of the studio, jumped into the car and ran away. 
On another occasion, when X had received only half the payment, X turned up with make up on only one side of the face...
X won 8 Filmfare awards in a particular category, which is infact a record in itself.
