Bolywood offer for former Mumbai Indians Cheerleader

Former Mumbai Indians cheerleader Gabriella Pasqualotto, who was sent home midway through IPL 4 for exposing the antics of some of the top players on a blog, has been offered a role in a major Bollywood movie and also been invited to the inaugural Indian Grand Prix in October.

According to a report in a South Africa newspaper, the 22-year-old has been flooded with media requests from all over the world since her return to her native country.


America's NBC channel and top radio DJs from Australia have also requested for interviews of her.

The South African cheerleader, in a report, has claimed that her blogs were light, fun and innocent and not malicious.

"I mentioned Graeme Smith, but that was old news anyway. When I called Aussies 'naughty', it was meant as mischievous and not in a sexual way," Pasqualotto was quoted as saying by 'The Independent'.

Pasqualotto's mother Amanda was furious at the treatment meted out to her daughter by the IPL organisers.

"The girls were told to move around in groups, but they packed her into a taxi on her own and sent her off to the airport. She had no airtime, no-one called us from the Indian agency despite promising Gabby (Pasqualotto) they would do so.


"She had an eight-hour stopover in Dubai and no US dollars to even buy a cup of coffee -- we did not even know where she was. It's a disgrace the way they treated her," said Amanda.

Pasqualotto, meanwhile, said that she was quite happy to stand by her blog and tweets.

"I would like to thank everyone on Twitter and Facebook for their support this week and I'm still a big fan of my team, the Mumbai Indians. Maybe there will be a Part III and if there is, it will probably be about this whole debacle," she said.

Pasqualotto was sent back home after she blogged about her role as a cheerleader and the after-dark activities of some of the world's top cricketers.

Gabriella Pasqualotto, 22, told the Afrikaans daily Beeld that she was put on the first flight home after being a cheerleader for the Mumbai Indians since last month, following complaints to league officials about her blogging. Here Story as stated on Alternativecricket.com Cheer leaders Gabriella pasqualotto IPL BEFORE departing for India, I had friends and family passing on travel tips, advice and personal experiences. Some of it good, and some of it worrying. As this was my first trip overseas, I needed to take it all in. But with any challenge in life, I like to have an open heart, clear head and positive attitude. This was not just a holiday abroad, this was a job and nobody could prepare me to become a cricket-loving, cheerleading, IPL girl but me! Already three weeks have passed and in that time I cannot believe how a group of normal girls can become instant celebrities! Each team of ten girls has a manager and we all receive strict instructions from them about safety, ...

But the big bash goes on

In one of the Indian T20 league matches recently, the entire band of cheerleaders had disappeared to the team hotel immediately after the match. The reason was that a post-match party was being held at the hotel and the cheerleaders were supposed to attend it Par for the course “This wasn’t just one-off. There were parties after every game. Although entry is restricted, it wasn’t difficult to get in, if you knew the right people,” said an official who had attended it. “Most of these parties are organised by owners while the sponsors also chip in,” the official added. In 2011, a Mumbai Indians’ cheerleader from South Africa, Gabriella Pasqualotto was sent back after she had blogged about after parties. “Usually only after day matches there is an exclusive after party and at night is when it all happens. The music pumps, the drinks flow and the cricketers come and go … the real fun happens in the VIP rooms where the players and night owls can cause scandal!” Pasqalotto had written. A ...
