Aishwarya doesnt have to explain anything, she just needs to be the diplomatic one here and apologize. That isnt even asking for much a simple "i'm sorry to madhur and his team" would work WONDERS for her and this entire situation.

Honestly, Aishwarya Rai's impending apology will be the thing that makes or breaks her future career. If she owns up, says she's sorry and made a bad judgement call, and then goes on to say she hopes she will have a smooth pregnancy, thanks everyone for the support and bang bang boom she has her kid, many directors and producers will overlook her error and hire her again.
But if she stays silent, or plays victim, or bring up some BS reasoning she will be thrown out of the industry. I'm pretty sure of this.



As I said, if she is at fault, she is not alone. So if she should apologize, so should the others responsible for this situation.

BTW, she has already been signed up for a couple of films which she will start shooting after her delivery - Raj Kumar Santoshi's next and Viacom18's next. Her career is in no threat.

I'm starting to feel for them. I didn't know Abhi couldn't have sex with his wife, and if he did, why was it unprofessional? not using a condom? seriously, Indian media is making a joke out of it. I bet they will have field days everyday until the baby is born.


I'm actually starting to feel sorry for these. oh well, Aishwarya should come out and say something before some mean comments come out and it becomes a war of words.

You know that if she has her kid and fails to loose the weight, those films are going to go poof and so will she? Again, things dont just happen cause you signed something. This "heroine" situation should be the BIGGEST example of that. Everything can change. Its how you compose yourself and act in the situation that life throws at you that will finally be the judge of how things play out for you.

Yeah, but Madhur isn't any innocent victim either. The industry is well aware of his ways too. Hence they're not buying his claims. Raj Kumar Santoshi said he won't make the film with anybody other than Ash. And the Viacom18 film had been signed 10 days after her pregnancy announcement.

I think she has built her career quite well and has been professional enough to survive for 20 odd years. The fact that the country's top directors like Mani Ratnam, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Shankar, Rituparno Ghosh etc. repeating her in their films tells quite a lot about it. So they gave her the benefit of doubt.

Ash will never ever make a statement, we can all be sure of that. Actually she doesnt need to make a statement either.This is between her and Madhur, as long as she explains her position and apologises its fine.

I think the very fact that Madhur found out about the pregnancy from media and not Ash herself is unprofessional. The place I work in its absolutely essential to take your manager into confidence and tell them if you are pregnant. Similarly its the Manager's resp to make sure that no one knows about it until the pregnant woman herself is comfortable discussing it with others.

@VanityGirl:
The industry wont reject a director who gives hit + acclaimed films on the basis that he pulled the plug because Rai became pregnant. Think about it, as long as a director can deliver hits and write good films he is ultimatley more valuable than the actress who has crossed her peak. And i don't mean that on a personal level, i would love seeing older females getting roles left and right and still being in the cream of the crop, but realistically i doubt this.
Raj Kumar Santoshi, and every other producer-director-company will sing a different tune if Aishwarya Rai cant bounce back physically. Her beauty is her driving force, if she looses that then i dont know who will put her in their film.
I don't know if you think i hate Aish. I don't. I'm one of the few people on IF who have enjoyed many of her films growing up some of which are my favourites. But i am looking at this situation objectivley. Her career is at stake here, and it is a combination of how she deals with this madhur situation and if she can maintain her physical look that will decide the future, which for now is as murky as ever.

Aishwarya is a 40 yr old adult, I am sure she can speak on her behalf. If she chooses not to, then I don't want her father in law to come up with absurd defensive theories either. They all should remain silent. Raj Kumar has already dropped Aish out of the comedy with a diplomatic excuse, and he has a project in "mind" that fits Aish...in mind again, not on paper. Mind changes every 2 minutes.

I just feel this issue should've been resolved in a set of private meetings. The director choosing to go the public way made it impossible for Ash because she could've easily issued a public statement defending herself against the director's claims. But that ONE statement of hers will give rise to a zillion other questions which will again go back to the intimate details of her pregnancy. And NO woman in the world would be comfortable with that intrusion of privacy. Not even a superstar who is used to it because it is too intimate.

Whenever she gives a statement the whole world would does not need to know her intimate details of her pregnancy. When and how she became pregnant doesn't matter at all cuz end result is that she is pregnant and everyone should be happy for her and her family. What everyone wants to know is
1) Why she signed the film despite knowing she's pregnant?
2) Why not confide in her director (she could have had him sign a non-disclosure agreement or something - just thought of this as everyone is talking about contracts, agreements etc) so whatever they discussed was between them
3) Following tradition she had her FIL announce it which is fine but before tweeting it he should have told all the directors she's working with or going to work with first as it's their family's obligation to personally tell them about this as it'll have some impact on their films.
Madhur came out with statments to the media, well it's a bit of tit for tat as he found out about this pregnancy through the media as well. What goes around comes around.
When a lady gets pregnant they often wait until after their first trimester to inform colleagues, friends, other non-immediate family etc as they have pased the first risky months but anything can happen later so its good to let others know so they don't let her overwork herself. In an office job the employer and colleagues can wait to know as the pregnancy doesn't get in the way of her doing her job if she's mostly sitting, talking or typing whatever it is and most importantly whenever she decides to start her mat leave the employer can put anyone in her place to cover her job. For an actress it's different and more complicated as they get a role based on their acting skills and looks if it matters to the role like in Heroine she needs to be glamorous in her best phases and depending on how Madhur had scheduled that it could have been at the very end of the shoot. Who knows? Plus who can guarantee that a pregnant lady will only gain weight later in her pregnancy and not earlier - it can be whenever as it depends on the pregnancy.
Lastly Abhishek should say something just to show that he does have a voice in this but it's not really necessary as everyone wants to hear from Aish as so what she has to say and what was she thinking.
We should all let her enjoy her pregnancy but she should come out and apologize and clear the air sometimes silence can work wonders but in this case it's not helping.

Another one? Gahh...this is so boring now. I guess we'll have a new article everyday until she delivers?I feel bad for the baby.
Anyways this article is a load of rubbish...now Abhishek should be fined for doing it with is wife?
When did this become a gender issue or an equality issue? It's matter about professionalism and work ethics. It has nothing to do with feminism. I simply think Ash should have told Madhur that she's expecting or that she could possibly be expecting. I want her to give one statement..but it's probably not gonna happen. This is Ash, she keeps an icy and stoic silence on everything.
