Madhur Bhandarkar's new film, Heroine, hit a massive bump when his leading lady, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan announced she was pregnant. After keeping mum for weeks, the director finally tells all.

He blogs: "The entire event would not have taken place if at the beginning the actress had informed of an impending maternity. The truth was hidden from us. We learnt about it from news channels like the rest of the world. Filmmaking functions on faith and trust." The Bachchans are yet to react to Bhandarkar's charge. Coming up: The story of BabB and Bachchans.
