Mumbai: Actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan stated that publishing incorrect information is "unnecessary and insensitive" and she hopes that the media won't "perpetuate" it.
The Delhi High Court banned multiple YouTube channels from disseminating false information on the health of Aaradhya Bachchan, the daughter of Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya, last week, stating that doing so displays "morbid perversity".
At the press conference of her upcoming movie “Ponniyin Selvan: II”, Aishwarya was asked about the irrelevant news content that hurts people emotionally and sentimentally.
“It’s so nice that a member from the media only is recognising that that does exist. So that gives us great hope that you are obviously not going to perpetuate that, you are not going to encourage that and thank you very much for your wise recognition of the negative impact of false writing or unnecessary writing which is insensitive and unnecessary,” the 49-year-old actor said.
“So thank you so much for your support for the sentiment that we all share and for your wisdom in recognising that,” she added.
On the work front, Aishwarya is currently promoting “Ponniyin Selvan: II”, the second part of filmmaker Mani Ratnam’s screen adaptation of author Kalki Krishnamurthy’s 1955 Tamil novel of the same name.
Also starring Jayam Ravi, Vikram, Karthi, Trisha Krishnan and Aishwarya Lekshmi, the movie will be released in theatres across the country on Friday.
