Inside gossip: Why Kim Kardashian denied entry to India [video]

Kim Kardashian West had sent the Indian media into a tizzy over her plans to step into the Indian telly reality show 'Bigg Boss 8'. However, the euphoria was shortlived after her India trip was aborted abruptly.

Emirates 24|7 now reveals the real reason why the American reality TV star missed her maiden trip.

Talking about the "peaks and pits", in her trademark fashion Kim hinted that cancelling her stopover in India was the "pits" of her trip.

The 34-year-old confessed aborting India from her week-long travel itinerary to promote her new scent Fluer Fatale was the most upsetting.

She was scheduled to make a splash on Indian reality show ‘Bigg Boss 8’ and chat up with Bollywood hunk and show-host Salman Khan. "The 'pits' has been that we didn't get to make it to India. I really wanted to go to India."

In fact, she confirmed that plans are now underway for another India trip. "We are rescheduling that and I'm really happy about that," she beamed.

An insider revealed that Kim's India trip was cancelled over visa issues. Apparently, it was her appearance on 'Bigg Boss 8' that caused confusion.

The insider tells this website, "There were reports in the media that she was going to be paid for it, which is untrue. Kim was going to do it for free. But, when there's talk of payment, the kind of visa needs to be in line with it and it wasn’t possible to change it last minute."

He added that Kim was looking forward to launching her perfume on the show.

Even Salman is believed to have been equally enthusiastic about meeting her.

"There were plans to place the white-rose-shaped bottles around the 'Bigg Boss 8' house.

"It would’ve been great. It’s sad that it couldn’t be fixed," the source added, confirming that they are now working on something bigger for Kim’s next big India trip.

Kim had earlier tweeted her disappoint. "To all my wonderful fans in India, I'm so disappointed I wasn't able to come to India as planned. When the opportunity presented itself to make the trip, there was a short window to coordinate all the elements necessary to make it happen. Unfortunately time ran out so the trip has been cancelled. I look forward to rescheduling and meeting everyone soon."

Kim unveiled her new scent Fluer Fatale, which she describes as a fragrance that reminds her of her daughter North West, in Dubai last night.

"For this trip, I would say the peak is that I got to spend a lot of time with my friends. One of my best friends lives here in Dubai and I haven't seen her in a little bit so it has been fun to catch up. It’s been fun to see friends from all over."
