While it seemed that the whole of India and the entire Bollywood industry was happy at the news of Aishwarya Rai’s
pregnancy, she and husband
Abhishek Bachchan were trying for four years after all, her ‘Heroine’ director is
revealing his ‘bitterness’ over the entire thing.
Director Madhur Bhandarkar said he is
in a state of ‘shock’ after his ambitious project Heroine came to a halt following lead actress, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s pregnancy. Bhandarkar broke his silence and said
the truth about the Rai’s pregnancy was “hidden” from the filmmakers.
Bhandarkar said on his blog, “Today, I am sitting alone in my office
after the plugs being pulled off from my film Heroine. My conscience
stands clear as I have been honest to my
craft irrespective of the repercussions. No which way would I have trampled
my dream
project on which I have given my sweat and blood for almost 1-1/2
years. This was going to be my most ambitious project of my career.”
He added, “The entire event would not have taken place if on the onset the actress would have informed
the state of her health and impending maternity. The truth was hidden from us. We learnt about the entire thing from
news channels like the rest of the world that the said actress was four-months pregnant and she was due in November.”
Is he sour-graping or bitter or what? The Bachchan couple had been
trying to start a family for years, I am most certain they did not
purposely or intentionally plan on
getting pregnant while the wife was working on Bhandarkar’s ‘masterpiece’ – it just happened.
And, if you have been waiting for years to bear a child, would a
film, even if it is to be the greatest epic mankind has ever seen, stop
you from seeing this
blessing through? I think not.
