DJ Aqeel is unprofessional

Hyderabad: He is the best DJ in our country and knows how to make people dance to his tunes. Figuratively speaking, he did it on Sunday.

DJ Aqeel was supposed to play at a local pub on Sunday evening, but at the last moment, he didn't turn up and the pub owners suffered a huge loss. The club complained about the DJ's unprofessional approach. Arvind Lal, the MD of Afterlife is upset with Aqeel and says, "He called up at 2 pm on the day of the event and said that he will not be coming. This, when all the advertisements were out and we had sold almost 240 tickets for the show."

He told Lal that he was suffering from high fever but later on the pub owners discovered that he was all set to play at Poison, a club in Mumbai. Angry at the unprofessional attitude from India's one of the top DJs, the club is now planning to take legal action against him. Says Mr Arvind, "We had paid him in advance and placed advertisements for around Rs 3.5 lakhs. Plus we booked a special suite in ITC for him costing us around Rs 18,000. He travels in business class only, so we got him those tickets too. That was not it, as we will have to refund the money to public who brought the tickets. We are suffering a total loss of Rs 8 lakhs and the reputation of the club is also tarnished." This kind of unprofessionalism is not expected from a top-notch DJ and it's better he mend his ways.
