I somehow feel bad for both Ash and Madhur. Both lost this game.

Did you guys read this article. Don't know whether to believ ethis or not...

Will Aishwarya sue Madhur Bhandarkar?

Sources:- Times Of India, DNA India.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been sacked from Madhur Bhandarkar's "Heroine." Her crime? She got pregnant!

According to the media , Madhur planned to wrap up the film by the end of July and knowing that, Aishwarya gave the required dates to the project. When Ash's pregnancy was announced, she assured the director that she will complete the film no matter what, given that she is just in her 4th month of pregnancy and (given that a lot of other actresses have worked until their 7th month) can easily complete the film by the in the stipulated time. But she was rather shocked by the director's sudden bizarre demands.

The director's ridiculous demands after Aishwarya's pregnancy announcement

? To extend the schedule from 2 months to 6 months (which would definitely make it impossible for Aishwarya)
? To do two item songs (!!)
? To do a bathing scene under a waterfall (which she has never done in her entire career)
? To smoke on-screen

All of these above demands were made to Aishwarya only AFTER her pregnancy announcement... they were not mentioned when the director gave her a script reading.

And obviously Ash wouldn't agree to those ridiculous demands because motherhood is more important to her than any role, so he sacked her!

An official press release from UTV says - "Heroine has been put off indefinitely, considering Aishwarya's health" - Considering her health? She is just pregnant... that doesn't mean she is ill or handicapped! Are we still living in a male chauvinist society?

Will Aishwarya sue Madhur Bhandarkar?

"It has long been established that unfavourable treatment due to pregnancy is a form of gender discrimination. Ketan Gupta of LegalEye Associates says, "As per the constitution, discrimination on the basis of gender can invite legal action. However, this is subject to contractual terms and conditions agreed upon by both parties." Advocate Rahul V adds, "Generally in the glamour world, contracts stipulate that they can be terminated if the model/actor gets pregnant during the course of an assignment and is not deemed fit to deliver as per the requirements of her role. Most contracts also have a clause where the actor/model is supposed to be paid a certain compensation for the time invested in the project before it is terminated." In this particular case there is no contract between the actress and the production house, but Ash has shot for the film and wants to complete it. The filmmaker, however, is not relenting."

Will justice be done in Bollywood?

In 1996, Hollywood actress Hunter Tylo was cast in "Melrose Place." However, she was fired by the producer Aaron Spelling prior to filming, when she announced she was pregnant. The actress sued Spelling on grounds of discrimination for being pregnant and won $4.8 million from a Los Angeles jury. So can a similar judgement be expected in our Bollywood?

Currently, this is the hot topic. Heroine is trending on Twitter.

I have no idea who to believe but I think it is communucation problem here? Aishwarya should have told that she might be pregnant and Madhur should told Aishwarya that the movie could be longer scedule and you need to do item songs etc?? Then I'm sure she wouldn't have sign it?

So Aish will sue for discriminaton too? 😲 Man this story is just so amusing...I wonder which side industry waalas will be on😆

Aishwarya most likely thought that she could slip this pregnancy through the shooting since she had already filmed parts of it already...Madhur on the other hand had a panic attack that a pregnant actress was going to do his beloved Heroine...has she been discriminated against? I think so but at the same time, I think there were scenes in the original script that would have been harmful for a pregnant woman...and I guess Madhur didn't want to use props😕

Meh Aishwarya has always been an opportunist...it's just that this situation revealed her not so nice side that she has

Much better than being tagged a murderer or an endangered animal killer no ? 😛

Seriously tho - if a man had tried to do something he would have been applauded as being gutsy. I hate the double standards the men get away with drap and a woman makes one mistake and the whole world will point fingers. I beleive she did do wrong in this case and it backfired on her but nobody died or the security of the country wasnt at stake right ? Madhur will live and 5 crores isnothing for a production house like UTV.And I really dont think being an Opportunist is a vice - if she had not been one certain Khans in this industry would have buried her career years ago.

All those calling Ash an opportunist- who isnt one in Bollywood? Rani took a movie that belonged to her BF even without her knowledge, Actress become show GF for the plublicity and expensive bags, Friends become enemies, enemies become friends in no time all for not willing to appear as a guest in a TV show.

Lets not kid ourselves, all of us at some level are opportunists.

I dont think you got Rosh's post.

You kept saying that media articles are not proof for anything, so how come suddenly you are believeing media articles potraying Ash negatively?

No use explaining, we all like to see and believe what we want to see and believe.😊
