From the recent brawl involving Shah Rukh Khan and MCA officials to match-fixing accusations and Luke Pomersbach being accused of molestation; this IPL season has been highly eventful.

But actress Shilpa Shetty, who co-owns the Rajasthan Royals and who gave birth to a baby boy today, is rather upset about it.

Disappointed with negative news surrounding the league, she tweeted: 'Its upsetting to c tv channels running down the IPL,for any silly reason citing reasons of it giving a bad image to india!How one sided! A league tht hs opend up opportnties nd a platform fr so many young cricketers frm all over.Bringin Pride,Revenue and Entertainment to india.'

She continued, 'While Corruption nd some politicians have caused soo much embarrassment to r country, those instances r forgotten so easily!Strange! Hate this trial by media,nd sensationalism of trivial issues!Let the law tk its course on those issues.Thot of Banning IPL is ridiculous!'

Casting couch is something that Bollywood gets constantly accused of but no one really talks about it publicly. It was rather surprising when Suhel Seth allegedly accused Mahesh Bhatt and Subhash Ghai of casting couch in this video he tweeted.

In the video, Seth praised Kahaani director Sujoy Ghosh and says: "My appeal to all the Mahesh Bhatts and Subhash Ghais and all the titans would be to get off your casting couch, you've been there, done her, and start investing in people who can write good scripts."

Reacting to the video, Mahesh Bhatt's daughter Pooja Bhatt tweeted: 'Media calling me about some statement my friend Suhel Seth made about my father & the casting couch!? Ahem!Is that how ROG came to fruition? Must add that of all the people my father has cast,the thought of Suhel Seth spread eagle across my father's casting couch is most alarming!'

Suhel quickly justified himself and replied: 'watch how I jam the folks who contorted everything I said thanks to trite editing...your Dad's my friend and someone I respect! and touche on the above tweet by the way!!!...:)' And when one of the followers pointed out that media is overplaying the issues, he added: 'they're a bunch of idiots who say that! I know and respect both! It was trite editing which is why I haven't bothered!'
