Bieber's staff told Jacqueline that the singer would neither attend the post-concert party nor was he interested in sightseeing.

As more details from Justin Bieber's controversial concert in Mumbai emerge, it becomes clear that apart from blowing a few kisses at the shrieking crowds, the singer was least interested in Mumbai or his Indian fans.
Not only did Bieber insult the fans by pretending to sing on stage, it now emerges that he showed scant respect for Jacqueline Fernandez, a celebrity in her own right, who was selected to play host during Justin's fleeting visit to Mumbai.
A friend of the actress told me that the Bieber experience was a "nightmare" for Jacqueline.
"She wasn't allowed to go anywhere near him by his security staff. At first, Jacqueline found this overprotective entourage's dismissive attitude cute and amusing. But then the snub got to her," the friend added.
"She firmly but politely reminded bratty Bieber's security that she was to help him around Mumbai and to ensure he got to the venue of the party that was planned after the concert," the source added.
Bieber's staff informed Jacqueline brusquely that the singer would neither attend the post-concert party nor was he interested in sightseeing in Mumbai.
Angry and dejected, the bubbly Bollywood star left without even shaking hands with Bieber.
