Apologise and donate

IN Media Watch Briefs | 21/02/2010

Amitabh Bachchan has sought an apology from the Mumbai Mirror for claiming that his daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is suffering  from stomach tuberculosis. After chastising the media in his blog, Bachchan now wants a full apology to be printed on the same page, in the same size print as the original story, and including the signatures of the journalist and editor. And an immediate donation of a sum  to a national charitable foundation of the paper's choosing and an article in the newspaper highlighting its work.
