This is in regard to the article
published by Mumbai Mirror dated 2nd November 2011 titled “
Bachchan’s pick Marol hospital for New B”. Let me remind you that this is
the same publication who actually had the gaul of printing an article earlier
titled ‘Pregnant Pause’ which stated that Mrs. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was
incapable of conceiving due to some ailment and now they have turned around and
yet again insinuated that there is a possibility that she has pre-decided the
date of her delivery!!
POINT 1 FROM THE ARTICLE: Says
source, “There is a possibility of Aishwarya going in for a C Section delivery
11.11.11.”
SPOKESPERSON QUOTE, “Yet
again ridiculously insinuating such an esteemed and respected family would
actually turn nature’s course for such blind sensationalized beliefs. There is a
limit to time and again attributing such regressive remarks like marrying her
off to a tree or actually planning delivering her baby just for the sake of a
sensational journalism. How can journalism allow for such irresponsible
reporting with regards to such intimate and personal decisions in a ladies life.
Excitement and curiosity aside how can we allow for this to go on and on- this
is disgusting….as a woman as I am sitting on the
3rd of November and if by the will of God
and nature’s turn, she does end up delivering on the date mentioned, will this
fictitious bit of article remain with her for the rest of her life and as an
international public icon, is this what she will be tagged with for the rest of
the life. This is not what she needs to go through at this happy moment in her
life”.
POINT 2 FROM THE ARTICLE - “ Every
time Aishwarya makes a trip to the hospital extra precaution is taken to
safeguard her privacy says a source. The sonography section is barricaded and
curtains drawn to keep away other curious patients revealed our
source.
SPOKEPERSON’s QUOTE:
“This is the most ridiculous remark from a fictitious source– when have
women been on a stage when sonographies are done in any hospital and on any
woman”.
POINT NO 3 FROM THE ARTICLE: Well
placed sources at the hospital revealed that the gynecologist especially comes
for Aishwarya’s appointment at 7.30 am usually before other patients start
trickling in.
SPOKESPERSON’s QUOTE-
“This is totally false and baseless”.
POINT NO 4 FROM THE ARTICLE- However
we cannot ever predict a baby’s arrival, so we have booked the room from the
10th to the 15th, added the source.
SPOKESPERSON’s QUOTE, “
Who is this source to have booked a room on the first place
????”
Commenting on this article, Dr.
Pai, Head of Radiology and Vice President, Seven Hills Hospital says, “ The
report published in a daily tabloid in regards to Mrs. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s
delivery at Seven Hills has taken me by surprise. The information and details
are a figment of someone’s imagination. 7.30 am appointments and a C SECTION for
the 11th as declared in the news piece have no resemblance to the
truth and such stories only put the medical fraternity in bad light. It may be
added that a sonography is a personal procedure and is not performed in open
wards hence it would not be different for any patient; each is entitled to their
privacy. Twisted details mislead the people of this country to believe and
follow what a writer may see has good masala newsprint”.
Adds Aishwarya’s publicist, “ It is
unfortunate that such false and fabricated news is being created to influence
minds. Such articles as the lead in a daily go against the basic responsibility
of print reporting and show case misinformation that could effect the huge
following into believing that such wonderful moments of ones lives as a gift of
life are open to personal preferences. As a lady I would feel that we should
provide a more responsible attitude to such misinformed articles”.
