Re: ShahNawaz charges.
same here jugni, I had my photo shot from him. He is one of the rudest person I have ever met.
He overcharges for everything. He charged me 10,000 each for HD DVDs, but guess what the DVDs were not HD quality, and I did not even asked him form mehindi dvd I hired someone else for that, but since I lost the receipt I had from him agreeing only on barat function coverage, I had to pay for the other DVD as well.
My mehnidi phootshot was on 26th of dec (but since the condition in Lahore was not very good, roads were blocked and all the torpor after BB assassination) I wasn't able to go to his studio for shot. I tried to call him several times to tell him that I won't be able to come but no one was picking up the phone, anyways I went there after the condition got better in the city and I asked him to adjust the mehnidi photo shot price to the remaining balance (since I gave him the photo shot money in advance and the DVD money was still due), but he said there is no way no earth he will give me the money back or adjust it. I was so shocked to hear that. I told him that I can not give up 10,000 just like that it is not a small amount and he said it is not his problem and if I do not give him the full amount due he will not give me my stuff. In short, he pressured me into getting the mehnidi shot done just a day before I was leaving for US. He told me that if I get the shot done in the morning he will give me the pics in the evening so I can take them with me.
I went in the evening to pickup my pics. He gave me the barat photo shot album, and event coverage and DVDs but the mehindi pics were still not ready. I asked him about the mehindi pics he said they are not ready I should call him at night he will try to make the pic ready by that time, and when I called him at night he said the electricity is giving a lot of trouble (load shedding) and that’s why he couldn't make them ready, they might be ready in the morning I should call him around 12:00 I took him I have flight at 1:00 I can't pick them in the morning he said it is not my problem and hung up (yeah he did that several time to me, and even to my mother, we were not done talking and he would hang up).
Now, I am here without my pics and I had to pay him full before he would give me other pics and dvds.
I send my brother after two days to go and pick up the pics. When my brother went there the guard told me that Shahnawaz sahab is sleeping and he can't come to see him at this time. My brother got really upset he told them he is not leaving until he talks to Shahnawaz. Then, Shahnawaz came at the end and told him that pics are not ready.
So now, the pics are still with Shahnawaz since I am here and my brother is in Karachi no one can go and pick them up.
If I get a second chance I would never in million years, will go to him for photo shot.
