The much-talked about Aishwarya- Abhishek wedding was supposed to be a "quite, low key affair" owing to the fact that the senior Teji Bachchan was ailing and battling for life. but it didn't seem so as newspapers and Television channels covered stories like their ornate outfits, the explicit jewellery, the special invitation cards, choreographed items at the sangeet ceremony and lot more.
Prime time slots were given for this dhoom dhadaka showbiz shaadi in TV channels and newspapers also covered it extensively. as only few guests were invited stories on who was invited and was not made important stories. those who were not invited were even asked to comment on this to which many said, "well its a private affair and we need to respect that". there were rumours that the guest had to swipe cards for entry. Oh god! as it it were some high security zone.
then during the marriage there was this extraordinary outburst of Mr. Amitabh Bachchan against the press that made the story. it was reported that a reported from a local TV channel was manhandled by a security guard outside the bungalow and the reporter has registered a non-cognizable complaint against the guard.
it has been reportedly pointed out that "the Star of the Millennium" got his elevated position largely because of the media support. it seems coarse on the man's part to ignore the entire fraternity which created him. this are the same people who were there to cover every ups and downs of his life be it he admitted in the hospital or his visit to Tirupati and Siddhivinayak or the entire Bachchan parivar worried over Teji Bachahan's health. these are the same hard working guys who were there to cover every move of the Bachchans.
the entire Bachchan family are public figure be it Jaya and Amitabh or Abhishek and Aishwarya. they are icons created by the public and belong by the public. thus the whole question of privacy is bizarre. Unfortunately, the entire media fraternity were reduced to stray dogs to cover what ever little was availbale. Almost all the TV channels covered the wedding where the closed gates of Jalsa which opened every now were fed to the viewers for hours. the camera zoomed in as the gate opened to get a glimpse of the happening inside. Nut what do the poor journalists do? they were demanded by the editors and the programming heads to cover this much talked about wedding in Bollywood. immediately the next day there were exclusive pictures on some news channels which were hungrily devoured by the viewers.
this incident shows that today high powered celebs manipulate media according to their need. but one thing must be remembered that our photographers are not stray dogs to be summoned by showing a juicy bone and then be kicked when their use is over.
