SRK-Gauri in big trouble over sex determination of surrogate baby

Posted: 18 Jun 2013 01:19 PM PDT

Just three days after a tabloid claimed to have a scoop on actor Shah Rukh Khan and his wife Gauri planning their third child that too, a baby boy through surrogacy, the actor finds himself at the receiving end.

On Sunday, the National Inspection and Monitoring Committee filed a legal complaint against the Khan couple for engaging in sex selection of their baby. The complaint also names the actor's alleged doctor and the hospital in question, though both have denied any involvement.

"Though we are a fan of Shah Rukh Khan and we appreciate his acting, we are sorry to say from the Lek Ladki Abhiyan dias that he is revealing the sex of the child, who he is expecting in July. If he knows that he will have a son this means he has misused the technique. He should be punished for this. He should be sent to jail for 5 years and should be made to pay a fine of Rs 50,000 fine," Varsha Despande, who is the complainant in the case and one of the founder members of Lek Ladki Abhiyan, said.



Interestingly, the actor, who is a proud father of two teenaged children - Aryaan and Suhana - has not confirmed the surrogacy story and sources say that he is not too happy with this ongoing slugfest either.

Meanwhile, Mumbai's municipal officials have already been asked to probe into the matter. "The state government has informed us about the issue. We will be investigating the matter and then take appropriate action," Executive Health Officer Dr Arun R Bamne said.

If the tabloid's report is true, then Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan, won't be the only Bollywood couple to have opted for surrogacy. Aamir Khan and wife Kiran Rao had their first child Azaad back in 2011 through a surrogate.

Shah Rukh Khan in surrogacy controversy over sex determination test reports

Posted: 17 Jun 2013 12:39 PM PDT


Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has reportedly got into trouble with state health department for finding out the sex of his unborn child through surrogacy. Last week media was abuzz with reports that King Khan and his wife Gauri were set to have a boy through surrogacy.

The radiologists' association has asked the state health department to inquire into news and find out how the star couple has got to know about the sex of their unborn child when sex determination is illegal in India.

Sources have revealed that state's Indian Radiological and Imaging Associations (IRIA) has objected to King Khan finding and revealing the sex of their unborn child in the wake of reports of skewed sex ratio across Maharashtra, including Mumbai. It is said they are contemplating strict action against radiologists for allegedly conducting illegal sex determination.

IRIA has demanded an investigation into the matter and has sent an email to the top state health department officials, including state health minister Suresh Shetty. It is also reported that if the news is confirmed then it means that celebs are breaking the law. This case has also gained momentum as the person who has been accused of determining the sex of the child is a celebrity and this will set a wrong example.

However, the star couple has refused to comment on it. Investigators are also trying to find out if the star couple got the sex determined outside India, where it is legal.

I'm at peace with who I am at this stage in my life: Sunny Leone

Posted: 17 Jun 2013 12:39 PM PDT


 Sunny Leone, the outsider, on coping with pressures in Bollywood

What are the insecurities of an actress who comes from out of India to work in Bollywood?
I can't talk for anyone else, but for me, I'm convinced I made the right decision to move my world to India. I just dropped everything and followed my dream.

How do you keep yourself grounded and stress-free?
I have a couple of people in my life that keep me grounded and my past experiences with life keep me calm. I realise there are far worse things that could be happening in life. Also, just turning on the news makes me realise that I have a beautiful fulfilling life with my family and my career. If it all disappeared tomorrow, I would be okay with it because I believe everything is a stepping stone to another chapter in my life.

What advice would you give yourself and other actresses on how to handle their personal and professional life?
Make sure you have hobbies. In entertainment, sometimes you are working everyday and at other times you might have a few weeks off. In those cases, keep yourself busy physically and mentally. Spend time with your family and your friends. Also stay away from drugs and don't drink too much, it will set your mind off balance.

Do you think the actress would need family support in the country itself, or can they do without that?
Each person is different in life so I can only speak for myself. I function amazingly when my husband is with me, but I am okay on my own as well. I can handle stressful situations and figure out the solutions to them. I don't mind being by myself because I am at peace with who I am at this stage in my life. I have set myself up here in India with an amazing group of people I can trust. To be in entertainment, you have to be able to function on your own as well as with a family member. But of course, my husband does make my life very easy for me. He makes it possible for me to just be me.

Is Shah Rukh under scanner for determining sex of his unborn child?

Posted: 17 Jun 2013 12:39 PM PDT


Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan was in the midst of a controversy following reports that he has gone for a pre-birth sex determination test for a third child through surrogacy.

When contacted, an aide of the actor refused to respond on the issue. "We are not commenting," the aide said when asked about reports that SRK was expecting a baby boy through surrogacy.

A senior Maharashtra government official said that they had asked the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to verify reports following a demand for an inquiry by an NGO and Indian Radiological and Imaging Association.

"The civic body officials are the appropriate authority for implementation of the Pre-Conception Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques (PCPNDT) Act in the municipal corporation areas," the official said.

Meanwhile, doctors from the health department of the BMC visited the actor's residence 'Mannat' in suburban Bandra to inquire but had to return as SRK was not at home.

"Our officials went to his residence. They were told by Shah Rukh's business manager that the actor has not made any statement on expecting a baby boy through surrogacy," said Dr Arun Bamne, executive health officer of the civic body's health department.

The PCPNDT Act provides for the prohibition of sex selection in the country before or after conception. It regulates the use of pre-natal diagnostic techniques, like ultrasound and amniocentesis by allowing them their use only to detect genetic abnormalities, metabolic disorders, chromosomal abnormalities, certain congenital malformations and sex linked disorders.

Media reports had claimed that SRK, 47, and his wife Gauri Khan were expecting a baby boy through surrogacy. SRK and Gauri have son Aryan and daughter Suhana.

What’s brewing between Chandani Bhagwanani and Nishad Vaidya of Amita Ka Amit?

Posted: 16 Jun 2013 10:12 AM PDT

 It seems the reel life love affair has got them close in real life too

Rumour has it that Sony TV's popular couple Amita and Amit aka Chandani Bhagwanani and Nishad Vaidya are seeing each other in real life too. While the couple is vehemently denying the story, we know there is no smoke without fire, no?

It seems Chandani and Nishad share great onscreen camaraderie and it spills on to their real life too. The duo spends a lot of time together after shots. In fact, after Amita Ka Amit's shoot schedule Nishad makes it a point to drop Chandani home every day. They don't deny that they are best friends, but we have to wonder, is there more to it than what meets the eye!

When queried about his relationship with Chandani, Nishad says that his co-star is a sweetheart and indeed very special to him. However, it's not love yet. So does that mean that the relationship might bloom in the near future? Wethinks, the couple are in the initial stages of their…ahem ahem…relationship and no one has voiced the obvious. Chandani too claims that they are not in love, yet. But we just can't seem to ignore the evident bond they share.

Our over excited brain has already made the connections and we hope the duo make it official soon. 'Coz there's no denying that Nishad and Chandani certainly look too cute together. What do you think, BollywoodLifers?

Is Jiah Khan’s suicide note fake?

Posted: 16 Jun 2013 10:12 AM PDT

 Recently on a blog the letters which Jiah Khan wrote to Suraj and the note that the Housefull actor's mother handed over to the media were uploaded

A blog has been started in support of Suraj Pancholi claiming that he's innocent and has not exactly abetted Jiah Khan's suicide. The handwriting of the letter which Rabiya Amin Khan had sent to the media stating that she found it in her daughter's wallet box does not match with the letters that are recovered from Suraj's house. The notes reportedly have been analysed by handwriting experts who have come to a conclusion that the letter given to the media is not written by Jiah.

Although we haven't heard of much progress on the case, but the blog is going viral on social networking sites. Even the tone of the letters are very different. The one given by Rabiya Khan is accusing Suraj of cheating on Jiah, whereas in the note found at Suraj's residence, Jiah is thanking her beau for introducing her to the real world and helping her be a much sorted person.

Shah Rukh, Gauri Khan to have third baby

Posted: 15 Jun 2013 10:41 AM PDT

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is going to become a father for the third time.

Media reports suggest that power couple are apparently having a third child through surrogacy. This is a secret and very few people are privy to this news. However, the news has now been leaked out by media including Zoom TV.

According to a source close to King Khan, the baby is a boy and it was Gauri's decision to go in for surrogacy.

It is also reported that the couple consulted the same doctor that Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao went to for their baby, Azad, who was given birth by a surrogate mother.

Shah Rukh's kids Aryan (15) and Suhana (13) are very excited about the new arrival as they will have a baby brother to play with. Meanwhile, preparations have started in Mannat to welcome the new bundle of joy.

Shahrukh Khan and Gauri Khan to have a baby?

Posted: 15 Jun 2013 10:41 AM PDT

 
Shahrukh Khan and Gauri Khan are reported to be planning their third child. The baby, however, will be born through surrogacy.
A tabloid reports that it was Gauri Khan's idea to have another addition to the family at Mannat. Their son Aryan is already 15 and studying in the UK. Their daughter Suhana is 13. So Gauri has reportedly been pressing Shahrukh for a third child, through surrogacy, however.

In surrogacy, a couple has their child born through another woman, who carries and delivers the baby. Not long back, Aamir Khan and Kiran Rao had their son Azad born through surrogacy.

We hear that Shahrukh and Gauri are consulting the same doctor who handled the case of Aamir and Kiran.

Shahrukh Khan and Gauri Khan's third baby is said to be a boy and is expected in July.

So far there has been no denial of the news from Shahrukh even though the superstar has returned to Twitter after a long break. Buzz is that only a few near and dear ones of the Khans know of surrogacy.

Shahrukh Khan is presently recuperating from a shoulder surgery.

Increase fertility: 20 tips on how to get pregnant

Posted: 15 Jun 2013 10:41 AM PDT


 If you are trying to conceive then these simple fertility tips can help you conceive quickly.

The feeling of being childless is absolutely frustrating and treatment for infertility is a long and tedious process. Chance of getting pregnant is higher through natural elements. Infertility has many aspects like male infertility, female infertility or even unknown fertility as well. "There are cases where there is no problem in either of the intended parents; still conception does not take place and then the root-cause is not known and the fundamental problem is unexplained and not defined", points Dr.Rita Bakshi (Senior IVF Specialist & Senior Gynecologist), Chairperson, International Fertility Centre.

Increase fertility: 20 tips on how to get pregnant

Have a good and balanced diet
Senior gynecologist, Dr. Rita reinforces the importance of a balanced diet to conceive, "Although it is something that is recommended for everybody, a well-balanced nutritional diet becomes all the more important for couples that have symptoms of unexplained infertility. Iron, calcium, folic acid, zinc and selenium, etc. are proven elements that are recognized as effective fertility boosters. Selenium, in particular helps a lot in increasing the quality and longevity of the male sperm, and zinc increases sperm count."

She further adds, "Vitamins like B6 and C have very good impact on the female productivity. Experts prescribe supplementary drugs also but they strongly recommended taking these elements through balanced diet."

Change the lifestyle to increase fertility
With years of experience under her belt Dr. Rita says, "I strongly believe on the effects of lifestyle on infertility, therefore at times I also involve psychological experts and counselors to suggest the same. Intended parents get tremendous help and guidelines from these counselors to make required changes in the way of living. Changing food habits, making alterations in the daily routine, positive thinking, meditation and quitting habits of tobacco and alcohol would help greatly help you conceive faster." These lifestyle changes should be implemented even after pregnancy. After all healthy lifestyle ensures life without health problems.

Consume milk, milk products and avoid soya bean
To increase fertility chances you should include milk and milk products in your diet. But there are few exceptions to the rule, "Increasing intake of protein will help tremendously by making positive impact on the reproduction system. However, research indicates that soya and soya based products harm the reproduction system inspite of being high in protein count. Increase natural oil contents, but avoid soya bean oil or cottonseed oil."

Dr. Rita Bakshi from International Fertility Centre shares her thoughts, "I believe that extreme positivity helps a lot and couples with open and optimistic attitude have fair chances of getting a breakthrough. You must have complete faith in the experts, medicines and treatment to get desired results!"

Say NO to tobacco and liquor
As tempting as it may seem, avoid alcohol consumption and smoking, Dr. Rita explains, "Scientists have clear facts and figures regarding the relationship of tobacco, liquor and infertility. There is a misconception regarding the capability of these two elements to increase sexual ability, but reality is absolutely reverse."

Alcohol and smokes lower your chances of conception, "The toxic elements in alcohol and tobacco have very serious impact on the sperm production, sperm quality and quantity, ovulation process and quality of eggs and overall sex life. Quitting harmful elements is the only option to help infertility."

Exercise regularly
Here is another reason why you should exercise regularly, Dr. Rita details out the importance of exercise to fertility. "Exercise is an important part of your life. It keeps the mind and body healthy and improves the overall condition. Fertility and sexual health does not depend directly on the level of exercise. However, there are indirect benefits attached to it. Physical fitness is necessary for a healthy lifestyle and adopting good practices help alot in regaining stamina and rejuvenating the energy level."
