It seems the blogging bug is catching on in Bollywood -after the Big B, it's Bachchan bahu Aishwarya who's taken to cyber space to answer Abhishek's critics.

The only difference is, while Pa-in-law has his own blog and his take on things, Ash has only blogged in retaliation to a comment that apparently touched a nerve with her.

The comment was posted on 'Sarkar Raj' director Ram Gopal Verma's blog site, and questions the character of Abhishek falling in love with someone from America who he has known only for a day.

To this, a cheeky RGV had replied saying "perhaps he has a weakness for worldly beauties."

This was a harmless comment but one that led the Bachchan bahu to retaliate - albeit with all the political correctness expected from one of the Bachchan family.

Aishwarya has replied as a blogger, explaining that it was a deep connect arising out of confiding in a person that leads to the bond being formed so quickly between her character and Abhishek's in the movie and that "the director chose to underplay the experience".

Blogger's Q:
Shankar looks like an emotional fool when he opens his heart to a girl from America whom he met yesterday?

RGV's reply:
Maybe he has a weakness for worldy beauties.

Ash's reply:
When you have two people 'confide' in each other, it's such a personal experience, it underlines a deep connection... We chose 'CONFIDING IN' as hugely intimate an experience, rather than 'fans blowing hair, background aalaaps or rain out of nowhere & waltzing etc' to convey this. It's all in the Eyes of the Characters & in the intense intimacy of confiding!!! That's 'SARKAR RAJ'!

Killing two birds with a single stone Ash has blogged not only to clarify Abhishek's decisions on screen, but also sent a message to RGV as well.

But is this just the beginning - will Ash take up blogging on a regular basis? Only time will tell.
