Every year, he releases a calendar featuring A-list Bollywood celebrities, like Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Kiara Advani, Kriti Sanon, Aishwarya Rai, Hrithik Roshan, and more. “Every year we look forward to how unflattering he can make a photograph look. It’s an art,” says Tiger Shroff.

But things are not as bright and airbrushed as the celebrities on his calendar look. According to an anonymous source, the photographer holds a shameful secret over the celebrities’ heads to force them into posing for his calendar.

“Why would anyone intentionally sign up to make themselves look like crap?” Asks the anonymous source, whose identity we can’t fully reveal but will say that he was a lawyer who fought for Taapsee Pannu’s rights in the movie Pink.

Apparently, Dabboo pretended to be a PayTM employee and went around all these celebrities’ houses asking them to link their accounts with their Aadhar cards. Those who readily agreed gave him a copy of their Aadhar card which contained a photo that made them look like a re-animated corpse. “Every year he sends us a mail with the copy of our Aadhar card attached to it, threatening us that if we didn’t shoot for his calendar, he would release the photos in the media,” said out source. But wouldn’t it be easier to have one horrible photo leaked, instead of one every year?

“It’s not about the photo. It’s about the humiliation that we fell for his sham and thought that he was a PayTM employee that kills us on the inside every time,” he said.

There you have it. In case you’ve wondered why celebrities pose for a calendar that looks worse than someone pointing a camera at an over-flowing trash can and badly Photoshopping Sidharth Malhotra’s face on it, now you know.
