Amitabh Bachchan Is Angry On Media



The Bachchan family is not going to spare the tabloid which had published derogatory reports about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and invading Aishwarya Rai ' s privacy. An issue like pregnancy is a very private matter and the outer world discussing such topic about a woman is really an insulting matter. After Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, it’s now Amitabh Bachchan who is demanding apology from the tabloid who is responsible for putting his daughter-in-law in a depressed mood.

"The unprofessional and slanderous nature of this article in such an esteemed and respected newspaper is deeply disturbing. It brings the author of this article into disrepute. It brings the editor that published this article into disrepute. It brings this particular newspaper into disrepute. It brings the profession of journalism into disrepute," Amitabh posted on his blog

"This article is in violation of the journalistic norms of conduct as published by the Press Council of India. Beyond your own disgrace, you have caused grievous distress and harm to the Bachchan family," he added.

Amitabh demanded, “Due to the illicit nature of this slander, I request a retraction and full apology. The full apology comprises the names of the individual journalist and chief editor, the journalist’s and editor’s unqualified retraction and refutation of the contents of the article, the apology should be addressed to both Aishwarya Rai Bachchan first and specifically, and also to the Bachchan family in general.”

He also posted, “on the same page, in the same size print, and including the signatures of the aforementioned journalist and editor and an immediate donation of a sum of (amount to be decided by members of my extended family of the blog) to a national charitable foundation of your choosing that supports those who suffer from tuberculosis and an article in your newspaper highlighting its work.”

The newspaper published that Aishwarya Rai could not conceive because she is suffering from stomach TB and is undergoing treatment and also went to the extent of saying that Amitabh has pressurized the couple for a grandson.

Pakistan opens doors to Indian actors


Pakistan opens doors to Indian actors


ISLAMABAD/MUMBAI: Five months after Pakistan gave Bollywood a visa to screen its movies, Islamabad has taken off its books a hostile clause that barred Indian actors from featuring in films made there.

"The 'notorious' Paragraph 5, a major obstacle for Pakistani filmmakers wanting to hire Indian actors, is no more," Saeed Rizvi, chairman of the Pakistan Film Producers Association (PFPA), told a Pakistani newspaper. "This clause was a legislative order, which stopped filmmakers from proceeding towards Indian frontiers."

Rizvi was referring to four amendments in the Censorship of Film Rules, which removed the India-specific restriction of Paragraph 5. A Pakistani filmmaker is supposed to submit Form B to seek censorship clearance, which includes Clause 5. When enforced, the amended law would make the exchange reciprocal among the film industries of the two countries that were one till India's partition in 1947.

Indian actors are 'in': Irrfan Khan


Bollywood actors are 'in': Irrfan Khan

Irrfan Khan is one of the few Bollywood actors who has successfully made a name for himself in Hollywood too.

With movies like The Namesake, The Warrior, A Mighty Heart and Slumdog Millionaire to his credit, the actor feels that Hollywood has opened its doors for our actors. He says, "Bollywood actors are in fashion now. Not only have I got better roles, but Hollywood scripts are also being revised. American characters are being changed to Bollywood, with Indian names and Indian accent living in the US. I'm glad that in the process, many Indian actors will get a better chance to showcase their talent."
