Excerpts from Big B's blog at www.bigb.bigadda.com.

"The whole issue of the Manglik and the subsequent astrological mumbo-jumbo has been something that we have not even been aware of. We came to learn of it from the media. Aishwarya is in my, my family’s and hopefully her own view, an absolute blessing in our lives. I can hardly believe that anyone would think to the contrary. The allegation that we have been running from temple to temple trying to lift a Manglik curse is ridiculous and amusing. I reiterate my refusal of this allegation as having the slightest reality.

Aishwarya has not married one tree, or two or three. She has married my son.
Temple visits are something we regularly do as a family: it is meaningful for us. We are Hindu.
In their frustration of being unable to find a credible angle to our temple visits the media has deliberately given the story this ugly color, with the sole intent of provoking us into a response. A response, unfortunately for them, not forthcoming from us. It is not mandatory that we do. I cannot be expected to give clarifications and denials to every bit of rubbish that is brought out in the public domain. I have better things to do. Also it is not my prerogative. But it is their prerogative to bring tangible proof and convincing evidence about any allegation they make.
I know not who these publicity seeking, unknown, self-styled ‘priests’ and ‘pundits’ are and I have no interest in them or their promulgations.
Show me the tree that she has been married to. Bring this priest in front of me. Justify your claim. This is my challenge."

Another post and some excerpts.....

"Headlines Today, the TV channel was at it again. Did a full report on the ‘Sarkar Raj’ event and ended with the anchor commenting that this was more a family affair, to propagate themselves rather than about the film. To HT : the film is about a family ! and the artists playing the main roles are from one family. What else would you expect from an event that has been organized to present this very aspect to the media. And.. if the aspect was objectionable to you, why did you broadcast 15 minutes of the video conference of Abhi-Ash, if they were such an eyesore. Guess, Abhi-Ash on your programme gave you better eye balls and the resultant TRP’s, than say Ram Gopal Varma or Amitabh Bachchan. So.. you project them on the show for a certain period of time and then say that that period of time was in excess. Ha !! Thats as funny as rubber crutches !!"
