Alia Bhatt defend her sister post during Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's father's funeral
Photos of a teary-eyed Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at her father's funeral were posted by various publications. Bollywood star Alia Bhatt's sister Shaheen is being criticized by media for attending a funeral like a 'party'. Shaheen Bhatt took to social media to share a firm hitting post strapping out at media for sharing images from Aishwarya's father Krishnaraj Rai's last rituals that passed away on Saturday. While sharing the image on Instagram, Shaheen Bhatt said, 'With respect to the photos of a sobbing Aishwarya Rai that are all over the internet.'
Shaheen Bhatt wrote, 'I have never understood the media pointing up to high-profile funerals to take pictures of grieving family members. Death is traumatic enough without images of you at your most damaged being circulated all over social media. And why does anybody want to see that? Does anyone really want to click on links that encourage us photographs of grief-stricken celebrities crying over the death of their parent? It is not okay to be a voyeur of death. It is not okay to handle a funeral like a party and show up to take pictures of the grievers in their finest whites. If you come across photos like this please don't click and share. We need to discover how to be human again.' Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's father Krishnaraj Rai had been admitted in Lilavati Hospital for the past one month.
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has grieved the death of his daughter-in-law and actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's dad Krishnaraj Rai. 'Death has but one end... And words cannot describe it,' Amitabh tweeted on Saturday night. The 74-year-old thespian also mourned the loss on his blog. He wrote: 'Glimpses of feelings in the mind, of the, lost one, of those that shall reflect on the missed one and suddenly than in the midst of pain and sadness among the grieved and grieving.' 'That walks to the final destination and the reality... Embracing the disaster, the talks on its transport, its rituals, its formalities. The culture, the tradition, the visitors with the sorrow and the embrace of support, the last services, the carriage, the position, the cremation... What to say what to put out where to place to... All laden with pain and departure,' he added.
Krishnaraj Rai was under absolute care at the Lilavati Hospital here and passed away on Saturday after a brief sickness. Aishwarya's spokesperson validated the news about his passing to IANS. According to Lt. Gen. V. Ravishankar, who was attending Krishnaraj Rai at Lilavati Hospital, Rai had lymphoma. He was in the hospital for past a month. He is endured by his wife Brindya Rai, son Aditya and daughter Aishwarya. Krishnaraj's funeral was carried on Saturday night at the city's Vile Parle Seva Sansthan Shamshan Bhoomi, where a host of cinema celebrities gave their last respects.
