Bollywood's first family kept away from the 55th Filmfare Awards on Saturday evening, sticking to their threat of boycott. Aishwarya Rai, who was supposed to perform at the event, also decided to pull out.
Stay off Aishwarya Rai, say angry Bachchans
The family is angry that the Mumbai Mirror, which published the article, still hasn't formally apologised for the story, which claimed Aishwarya was suffering from stomach tuberculosis, leading to an inability to conceive - a news branded as “completely false” by father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan.
The Mumbai Mirror and Filmfare both belong to the Times Group.
