Not playing down Amitabh's illness: Doordarshan
New Delhi:
Rubbishing allegations that Amitabh Bachchan's illness was not given "adequate" coverage, Doordarshan on Thursday said its news channel had given an update on the actor's health in almost all major bulletins. "Beginning November 28 when Mr. Bachchan was hospitalised, DD News has given an update on the superstar's health in almost all its major bulletins, including an extensive coverage on December 1, the day he was operated on in Mumbai's Leelavati Hospital," Doordarshan said in a statement here.
"It was a conscious decision by the editorial hands that while presenting news on Amitabh Bachchan's illness, we should not create any hype so as to raise unnecessary scare among millions of viewers," Amitabh Chakrabarti, head of DD News, said.
The news of his illness was covered in 63 bulletins over one week.
