Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan hit back at media reports for allegedly misinterpreting his recent social media post and portraying it as a challenge to his opponents.
The actor clarified that his reference to elephants, horses and a palanquin in an earlier post was part of a devotional chant dedicated to Lord Krishna, rather than a message directed at his critics.
A bomb threat email allegedly targeting veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan’s bungalow in Mumbai was reported to the Mumbai Police last week. The police have launched an investigation into the matter. The actor concluded, “Respect??? Nothing could be more ridiculous… If we make a mistake – and mistakes do happen – we immediately apologise and try to correct it. But here, it seems they believe that being this way is their birthright…I was about to speak about the affection and love of a person who is in pain before going to sleep. But I will not call myself a victim. The right to speak about my pain belongs to me alone. It is not something meant for you, the media. The threatening email was received by a school in Mumbai’s Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) area.
Following the threat, the actor was seen standing inside a transparent protective glass enclosure as he stepped out of his residence to greet fans during his Sunday darshan. He was accompanied by his son, Abhishek Bachchan , who stood behind him and kept a watchful eye on the crowd.
