Amitabh Bachchan is enjoying his blogging experience and “the ugly abuses, the healthy criticism” that come along with it. The Bollywood icon has clarified that his remarks about Shah Rukh Khan’s quiz show on his blog were misinterpreted by the media and he has apologised to the actor since then.
“I narrated on my blog what transpired during one my meetings with TV heads, who had come with proposals to me to do a show for them. I asked them questions on the viability of game shows. They described to me the falling ratings, which included shows done by me and by others as well,” Amitabh, who is currently in Cannes with his family, explained in a telephone interview with IANS.
He added: “I merely transferred these talks to my blog purely to seek opinion, not glory, and the next thing I read is that it is an attempt on my part to show Shah Rukh in poor light, which was entirely incorrect and a load of rubbish. I have since, on my blog, apologised to Shah Rukh and those offended by this wrong assumption.
“I will apologise to Shah Rukh a hundred times if there is an iota of doubt in his mind about my conduct and behaviour towards him.”
On visiting Cannes, he said the family was there to be with daughter-in-law Aishwarya, who is a brand ambassador of L’Oreal, and to spend quality time with one another.
“We went to the opening with her (Aishwarya) and a few films together, but mostly it is to be with family because we’ve all been away from each other for a long time in different parts of the world. It’s lovely to just be together and catch up, before we drift away to our respective schedules,” Amitabh said.
