Bachchans unfazed

After ten years of taunts, rebukes, insults and innuendos, politician Amar Singh has called it a truce with Amitabh and the Bachchan family.

On the occasion of his father’s tenth death anniversary, Amar Singh, ailing in Singapore, put out a video declaring his war with the Bachchan has closed. However, it is unlikely that Big B will grab the olive branch.

“If it was just him, he may have considered it. But Amar Singh has been constantly insulting not just Bachchan sahab but also his wife Jaya ji, portraying her as the villain of the piece. Bachchan sahab can forgive those who insult him, but not his family,” says a very close friend of the Bachchans.

Singh’s self-fuelled feud with the Bachchans started in 2010 when his friendship with the family ended suddenly and he began to criticise them mercilessly. He seems to have decided to end the feud suddenly due to his failing health.

“Bachchan sahab was quiet all through ten years when Amar Singh ji attacked the family. He will remain silent,” says the family friend.
