There is lots of news over the internet for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan going for boy. The stir is created by Bhairavi Goswami. I need to tell you that gender selection is illegal in India but not in Thailand. Indians are finding a way round the ban by going to Thailand where there are no laws against it. Doctors use preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD), a method that involves producing embryos through IVF and implanting only those of the desired gender into the womb. Results are nearly 100% accurate.
One clinic in Bangkok reports a significant increase in enquiries from India in the last year, while another claims web enquiries from Indian couples have doubled in the past 10 months. At around $8,500, excluding flights, it's not cheap, but it seems a price couples are willing to pay.
Below is the news from one such site :
So is it true she went to IVF clinic for gender selection ?Little-known Bollywood starlet Bhairavi Goswami has stirred a hornet's nest with her latest post on Twitter. As if there was not already enough controversy over Aishwarya's projects, Bhairavi has created one more, this time over her pregnancy!
Bhairavi supposedly alleged on her Twitter page that Aishwarya had been to an IVF clinic in Bangkok that specialises in boy babies.
'Nauseating 2 read superstars givg interviews abt wanting a girl baby whn she has gone 2 Bangkok to an IVF clinic which specializes in boy babies. Height of hypocrisy. They knw damn well its a boy, aftr all she has to produce a male heir at any cost - Typical UP mentality, no wonder that state has such high female foeticide,' says her tweet.
She 'supposedly' posted this, because the actor has refuted it. In an interview to a paper, she vehemently denied having any interest in celebrities, but wriggled out of the question over whether she did it saying it was on her fan page, for which two other people have access. But neither did she directly deny posting it.
Which means, Bhairavi may or may not have posted. But whether she did do it or not, the post has surely had eyebrows raised, and for the rumour mills it was another good day at business.
