"Bachchans hinted to name the baby 'Rahul' if Sachin keeps on delaying his 100th ton"

It was probably to encourage Sachin to seriously consider hitting his century of centuries that Bachchan family threatened to name the incoming baby as 'Rahul'- close associates of the family told Faking News.

'Bachchans have been often criticized to stash money and sometimes land while in the process, forgetting to pay their humble duty to the nation', said the source, urging us not to take his name. 'By making such an announcement they have clearly stated that 'Sachin' had been the first choice as baby's name. At the same time, there is an ambiguity that is thrown into fray because, at present, there are two 'Rahuls' dominating the Indian mass mood.'

He was true about the ambiguity. Whether 'Rahul' means 'Dravid-wala' Rahul or 'Gandhi-wala' Rahul- is the question that has refrained the BJP to bang Congress otherwise Chandan Mitra was ready with his speech in which he was to criticize Gandhis for muddling with the privacy of families.

By doing so, Bachchans wanted to be show solidarity with the collective desire of the nation to see Sachin reaching his 100th hundred as soon as possible. 'Aishwarya is too clever. She knows such a christening would help immortalizing his baby as no other batsman can cross the landmark once Sachin gets his moment.'

The Bachchan family could not be contacted to help clear the air but the news has created buzz throughout Bollywood and Cricketing threads in India. News channels were conducting polling giving the options to choose between 'Sachin' and 'Dravid' for the audience to vote for and internet activity is on a sizzling tide since then. While India TV, always looking looking for easy publicity, included a third option distinguishing from the cricketing world. Surprising results started pouring for this third option because the name has a massive popularity which was validated by the absolute success of his last three movies. 

On a separate note: Crowd was lathi charged outside Salman's house when the fans had gheraoed  his house in the evening who had reached to congratulate the actor, possibly allured by the polling results of IndiaTv.
