“She does not have Swine Flu”, says Amitabh Bachan on Aishwarya Rai

The media reported far and wide about Aishwarya suffering from swine flu like symptoms as it was said by Big B in his blog. But, he has just put off the next post today telling that she is not suffering from swine flu, but just a chest infection and nothing more than that. He has also added up telling that she is recovering from the situation and will be ready to start working from the next day onwards.

This is what Amitabh Bachan responds to the media exposure and rumors about Aishwarya ill heath:

That little mention of Aishwarya’s indisposition has created a media hurricane. Headlines screaming she has swine flu have appeared along with other national news. The paucity of sensationalist material has created a herd mentality towards interpreting that gentle whiff of air into a storm of immense proportions. Getting the news out first has precedence over research and authentication. No, she does not have swine flu. She has improved and is much better and ready to resume work by tomorrow or the day after. I would have kept her home for another week. But …

Earlier Amitabh Bachan wrote in his blog about his bahu’s indisposition as:

"Aishwarya has taken ill and is down with chest infection and flu like symptoms. Had a high fever yesterday but is settling down today,"
"Its worrying to be so far away from children and not be there to look after them. Yes, they are mature and married and responsible, but children will always remain children,"

Big B was too worried as the 35-year-old star Aishwarya Bachan fell ill due to chest infection while her shoot with her beloved in Ooty for the movie “Ravana” by Mani Ratnam. He is presently in Singapore and talked about the ill health of his daughter-in-law in his blog due to immense concern which created a massive storm in the media.
