Depressed Bhandarkar Breaks Silence over Ash's Pregnancy


Daijiworld Media Network

Mumbai, Jul 5: Aishwarya's fans and friends may be rejoicing in her mother-to-be status, but there is one person who is not particularly happy.

Director Madhur Bhandarkar, who has been forced to stall 'Heroine', the 'most ambitious project of his career' because of Ash's pregnancy, said in his blog that he was not informed about Aishwarya's condition and that the truth was hidden from him. He came to know the news only through the media, which, understandably, has miffed him.

He said that he gone into depression ever since the news broke, "This decision of pulling the plug had a devasting effect on me … It was like an avalanche collapsing on me… I was in a state of total shock and depression," 

He added, "My conscience stands clear as I have been honest to my craft irrespective of the repercussions. No which way would I have trampled my dream project on which I have given my sweat and blood for almost 1-1/2 years."

"It was a collective decision of the producers of the film to pull off the plug on the current assembled project…I am still reeling in a state of shock…. But still chose to remain silent all these days; but was coerced into breaking my silence… as I realised that the truth deserved to be told," he said.

Had he been informed earlier about Ash's plans to start a family, things could have been different and he could have managed somehow, he added.

"The film was announced in Cannes on 13th May while we commenced shooting on 7th June. There was a gap of 24 days...even if we had known the truth behind the maternal state of the actress, things could have been reworked keeping the state of matters in mind accordingly and this crisis could have been averted," he said.
