Summary
- Mandavi Sharma addressed rumors surrounding AbRam Khan's birth.
- She stated journalists did not apologize after SRK's statement.
- Shah Rukh Khan called sex determination test reports 'rubbish'.
In a recent episode of The Filmy Hustle, Mandavi Sharma, who previously served as Shah Rukh Khan's publicist, addressed persistent rumors concerning the birth of SRK's son, AbRam Khan, in 2013. Sharma recounted how numerous publications falsely reported that a sex determination test had been performed prior to AbRam's birth through surrogacy.
Sharma emphasized the ethical dilemma faced by media professionals, quoting SRK's stance on letting stories unfold to test journalistic ethics. She highlighted the lack of accountability, noting that journalists who spread the inaccurate news about the sex determination test did not apologize even after a clarifying statement was released. This incident highlighted concerns about the 'ethics versus the urge to sell news'.
More than a year after the reports surfaced, Shah Rukh Khan himself addressed the false claims in August 2014. He expressed his strong disapproval of the media's speculation regarding the surrogacy and the alleged sex determination test, dismissing such reports as 'rubbish' and expressing his disappointment that the focus was on such rumors when his child was ill.
