About insurance of body parts of Hollywood and bollywood celebrities

We all know that insurance is a form of risk management primarily used to hedge against the risk of a contingent, uncertain loss. Insurance is defined as the equitable transfer of the risk of a loss, from one entity to another, in exchange for payment. We are familiar with the different types of insurance already in market such as Auto insurance, Home insurance, Health insurance, Accident, Sickness and Unemployment Insurance, Casualty Insurance, Life insurance, Property Insurance, Credit Insurance etc but celebrity body parts Insurance is somewhat new.
What does a limb worth? If it’s me or you, then nothing but if it’s a celebrity it worths millions. Celebrity body parts insurance is now a days a fashion. Many celebrities from Hollywood and Bollywood with “notable” body parts insure them just in case they lose a leg or butt or breast in accident.
