New Delhi: The latest on the Bachchan baby, possibly due any day after November 10, won't bring cheer to fans.

Amitabh Bachchan, has just tweeted on some reports earlier which said the Information and Broadcasting Ministry (I&B) had banned TV channels from placing reporters and cameras outside hospitals.

Mr. Bachchan began his series of tweets refuting reports that he had asked the I&B Ministry to block news of Aishwarya's delivery.

"Absolute rubbish. "Firstly I have no such intention ever, secondly do you really think I&B would listen to me !?? No way baby !" he tweeted.

He then goes on to say that someone from the media has sent him a message asking him " .. to respect ur family's privacy n women's dignity all tv news networks decided not to follow aishwarya's pregnancy or delivery. Not a single line news till official announcement. No camera's and OBs will be stationed at your place or hospital. Regards .."Mr Bachchan claims an order from the I&B to the media may have been attributed to the Bachchans attempting to block all news of Aishwarya's delivery.

Mr Bachchan ended this round of his frequent jostling with the media by reaching out to his Twitter followers, who he refers to as his extended family.

"BUT ..!! No worries TwXmFt ! Every other day some ridiculous, malicious and completely false allegations are thrown at me ! Smiley ! "
