The Opportunistic Bachchan Parivar

Much has been written on twitter about Jaya Bachchan Thali comment and she has found great support and equally the trolls from others who don’t support her comment. In a strongly-worded statement, she expressed that "People in the entertainment industry are being flogged by social media. "People who made their names in the industry have called it a gutter. I completely disagree. I hope that the government tells such people not to use this kind of language."

Let’s discuss the Thali debate. I do not agree with Jaya Bacchchan’s comment that there are certain people in the industry who are being flogged by social media to  discredit or disregard the industry. The truth is opposite.

Bachchan Parivar is not the custodian of the film Industry. They are not the industry but the part of the industry. The industry belongs equally to all those who have worked for it. It equally belongs to Kangna Ranaut , Ravi Kishen or Jaya Bachan and Amitabh Bachchan

In fact the biggest opportunistic and thankless person in the entire world is the Bachhan Family. They have burnt the hands of all those who have fed them. The List is too long. Some of the examples are Rajeev Gandhi, Mehmood, Amar Singh, Anil Ambani etc.

Rajiv Gandhi was very close to Amitabh. Bachchan . When Gandhi went to London for studies, he used to write letters to Amitabh Bachchan on a regular basis. Despite being the son of prime minister, he helped Amitabh in the struggling days and established it through Mehmood Sahab and Khaja Ahmed Abbas. Very few know that Amitabh got a major break in the movie “Bombay to Goa” though he has worked as a niche actor in “ Saat Hindustani” When Mehmood saw the late Prime minister Rajiv Gandhi, he was thrilled to find someone so attractive and innocent to play the role.  Rajiv rejected the offer. Mehmood did  not know that Rajiv was the son of Indira. When he got to know, he felt sorry and apologized. Rajiv took this opportunity to launch Amitabh in his movie to offer the role.

The Same Amitabh Bacchan backstabbed both Rajiv and Mehmood when they needed him the most . When Rajiv Gandhi’s Name got involved in Bofors. Instead of staying with his friend, he isolated himself and left politics. Rajiv Gandhi was never convicted for the case as there was no truth. After his name was embroiled in Bofors case, Amitabh made a conscious effort to stay away from politics. However, it appears he smartly found a new haven for all the money to be stashed in overseas accounts and continued to play the role of good old man in public life.

Amitabh’s mother is from a Sikh parivar. When innocent Sikhs were killed, he did not utter a single word against the massacre then .Because it was not suiting his opportunism then. To be on the ruling side is Amitabh Bachchan's real trait.

When this opportunistic man had gone bankrupt , It was Dhirubhai Ambani and his son Anil Ambani and the Politician Amar Singh who helped him to come out from the chaos. AmarSingh went ahead and used the political clout to offer him land in Uttar Pradesh and also arranged to provide the status of a Kissan. Amitabh Bachchan and Kissan is the comedy of the Millennium.

The Pain of Amar Singh was Visible when he quoted that Amitabh is the most opportunistic and greedy man. He said, “When I was jailed, he did not even bother calling me up. My bail was set at Rs 2.5 crore and he could have helped. But he did not speak to me even once." Amar Said that when he helped Amitabh Bachan both emotionally and financially and established him back to the lost glory, but when He needed help from Amitabh he refused to offer any help. He further said,” life has taught me a lesson: Help the needy but not the greedy."
When Amar Sigh went to Singapore for Kidney ailment, Amitabh did not even bother once to visit him in hospital. True. When Amar Singh died, Amitabh did not say a single word, just a few poetic lines which came so late” This is how Amitabh Bachchan is like.

Amitabh backstabbed Mehmood : It was Rajiv and Mehmood who launched Amitabh as a leading role in BTG ( Bombay to Goa), the behaviour of Amitabh disappointed Mehood  . Amitabh used to call Mehmood a fatherly figure. But when Mehmood was sick and was getting treatment from Lilavati Hospital Mumbai, where the father of Amitabh was also getting the treatment. He visited his biological father and not the one who helped him to earn money in industry.  He said Baap Baap Hota hai so bitterly.

When out of political compulsion, Jaya gave a fairy speech in Parliament as She forgot to mention the death of Sushant Singh. Neither she nor her husband uttered a single word on his death. Ironically Sheweta Bachchan who is staying alone with his parents, did sympathise with Rhea. Jaya did not utter a single word of the political controversies. where Bachchan Parivar is involved. Be it owning the farming land in Pune and UP, Panama paper Scandal where his family is being named in the scandal.
