Everyone knows that Bollywood is a glamorous world. Only those who looks glamorous and well-fitted survives longer in Bollywood. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been dropped out from the film Heroine because of her pregnancy. Director Madhur Bhandarkar will be worried for his film Heroine and now he should be worried for dropping Aishwarya from the film.
This is a kind of gender discrimination. Aiswharya is the victim now. The country’s law always protect women from any kind of discrimination in the world of corporate. Women can take their firm to court if they are denied promotion or losing their job because of baby bump. Now its something to watch for if Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will take Bhandarkar and his production house to the court.
According to a source, Madhur met the actress after the big news was announced and informed her that she was no longer required to shoot for the film. It was a big blow to Ash when she was told she could not be part of the project in her current state! ARB is still clueless about whether the film has been shelved permanently or she’s been dropped from the film.
It seems clear that this is a case of gender discrimination because she is being dropped due to her pregnancy.
Ketan Gupta of Legal Eye Associates explains, “As per the constitution, discrimination on the basis of gender can invite legal action. However, this is subject to contractual terms and conditions agreed upon by both parties.”
Advocate Rahul V adds further, “Generally in the glamour world, contracts stipulate that they can be terminated if the model/actor gets pregnant during the course of an assignment and is not deemed fit to deliver as per the requirements of her role. Most contracts also have a clause where the actor/model is supposed to be paid a certain compensation for the time invested in the project before it is terminated.”
Though no contract has been signed between Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Madhur Bhandarkar but she has worked for his film for few days and wishes to complete it but the filmmaker is not agreeing to her.
Well, we are waiting for the further development in the case.
