Amitabh Bachchan has been regularly tweeting about his daughter in-law Aishwarya Rai's pregnancy and how the media is obsessed with it. Recently, Big B denied rumours that said he had requested the I & B ministry to put a ban on the media from covering Aishwarya's delivery on the assumed due date. There were speculations in the media that it was Big B who had asked the ministry to issue such a diktat. However, it is far from true.

Bachchan squashed all rumours as he posted on Twitter: "HaHa ! Print Mid-Day asking if I have told I & B ministry to block media news of Aishwarya's delivery! Absolute rubbish! Good try MDay ! Firstly I have no such intention ever; secondly do you really think I & B would listen to me!?? No way baby!"

Bachchan further tweeted, "Apparently, media has been told by I & B to not have OB Vans outside hospitals! That news came to me via a journalist.. so someone putting two and two together and making it Bachchan... Ha ha ha !!" Bachchan also revealed on Twitter that the broadcast media has confirmed that they will not place OB vans in front of the hospital where Ash will be admitted. Rather, the media will break the news only after an official announcement is made by the Bachchans.
