Ignore allegations, Thackeray tells Amitabh

Bal Thackeray

MUMBAI: Breaking his silence on Maharashtra Navnirman Sena leader Raj Thackeray’s outbursts against north Indians, Shiv Sena leader Bal Thackeray on Wednesday said making parochial allegations against actor Amitabh Bachchan was plain foolishness.

In a statement, Mr. Bal Thackeray said: “In the end Amitabh Bachchan is Amitabh Bachchan.” Mr. Bachchan should ignore all these silly allegations and those who speak against him.

“Bachchan is not only my friend; we have family relations. Whenever he has the time he comes over and visits us. Our friendship has lasted for 40 years and there has been no strain in our relationship,” Mr. Bal Thackeray pointed out.

Mr. Raj Thackeray had criticised Mr. Bachchan “for being the brand ambassador of Uttar Pradesh.” He had also said that the actor opened a school for girls in Uttar Pradesh when Mumbai had given him all his fame and glory.
