This is all made up. 1."special correspondent" has no name. 2. If Sr.B is promoting Jr.B what is so wrong ?Every father promotes his son.Rakesh Roshan casts Hritik in all his films, so does Mr Yash Chopra keep trying Uday.Gulshan kumar tried and tried with Kishan Kumar.The list is endless. 3. Why is everyone so upset with Bachans for not getting invited to the marriage.Did Amir Khan invite everyone for his marriage?Marriages are strictly private affair. 4. If SRK is upset with Bachan, then who are the best buddies in industry?We know Amir calling himself "EKKA" in response to SRK calling himself Baadshaah. These keep happening
First, people do read and want to read about Bachchans - they make news. That%u2019s why Rediff has also run up a story on them and look at the response. This article has essentially only one piece of news %u2013 that three stars have refused to work in Karan%u2019s next movie to be made with Abhi & Ash. Rest is all filler material.
That being said, it must be recognized that there is always some professional rivalry amongst the top players of a film industry. There is also lot of bitching, back-stabbing, manipulation (including promotion of self and nepotism) that takes place in this industry. So, this is another chapter to these controversial and murky goings-on. This is nothing new.
However, for an unbiased and neutral person one aspect about Bachchans will certainly hit him/her on the face. That is about their alleged affidavits, claiming that they are farmers in UP and Maharashtra, for some agricultural land. Whatever explanation AB Sr. or his wife may give but the alleged affidavits are outright chicanery.
Also, Sr. AB%u2019s remarks about film Don, SRK and Hrithik are childish at the very least %u2013 betrays sense of insecurity. After Bofors episode (including Sr AB%u2019s brother%u2019s dubious role) and ABCL%u2019s fall from the precipice, this family does feel insecure.
In this context it must also be said that media continually creates hooplas to sell their product. Stars and media form a mutually feeding racket. Bachchans are part of it. As long

As long they continue to do well, media will find some new angle to generate new spicy stuff. Finally, time will tell who %u2013 Bachchans or the Khans or other top stars %u2013 will fade in to sunset and when.

Kyaa badhiya baat kahee hai kohinoorji.Bhaiyaa, gaadi se 5-6 logo ko maar do, koi baat nahee.AK-47 ghar rakho toh bhaai-behen election jeetenge.duniya apne bacho ko promote kar sakti hai lekin Bachanji karey toh "nahee chalegaa" Amir,Hritik,Farah Khan, Fardeen sab ke shaadi huee.kisee ne nahee poochaa "kaun aayaa", "kaun nahee aayaa"..lekin bachan ji ne nahee bulaaya toh sab naaraaj hai.
Karan can neither ask Aamir Khan [Images] or Salman Khan [Images].
Salman was doing taka tak with Aishwarya some tome back so I can understand him not being included, but I do not understand why Karan cannot invite Aamir Khan ? any body know why ?

Becoz Aamir is a perfectionist who lives in his own world he neither comments anything about AB neither he shows interest in working with Karan, so I guess leave him aside, he is a good actor who lives in his own world n I guess we should all respect that.
It seems that the Big B's all effort to lessen the Manglik dosh of his putra-vadhu Ashwayra did not work. I was told that whosever with Ash beds he and/or his family starts facing problems, be it Salman Khan, Vivek Oberoi (his father Suresh Oberai had attack on his life during the Vivek and Ash were dating) or anybody else. May Karan Johar too know it.
Amitabh and Shahrukh are the most over rated hindi movie actors. Especially Sharukh's acting is so monotonous and he looks so haggard. These 2 are the smartest guys around who keepa good rapport with the media and scribes which results in lopsided good reviews even if thier movie or acting is pathetic. Frankly much better actors (in pure acting sense) around are Manoj Bajpai, Kamal Hassan, Om puri and some who are not around anymore. Could any newcomer had expected to be cast by a director if his first 15 movies were flops as in Abhisekhs case, if it was not for being amitabhs son. Give anyone a chance to act in 15 movies.....they will definitely improve and before long give a hit.

Guys like u obsessed with Bachan & bachas are freely roaming fools.... like free roaming chickens.... sensible and educated people (like me) a rare commodity in a population of more than a billion care 2 hoots about these guys. Do I sound arrogant .....its a fact or else uneducated dumbass politicians and movie actors wouldnt be so popular in India....no appreciation for movie for classes only the ones for masses..... sure guys like you like Munnabhai.....gandhigiri & phaltugiri.....
A very famous saying goes that a person at top will always be alone .isnt it ?being at top means no one is as good as u r hence be prepared to be alone.big b is the biggest star india has ever seen & is in that position for the last many years hence i think it doesnt matters whether bollywood likes him on not as long as audience likes him . whats wrong in saying guru made more money than don?thats true guru is one of the hit of this year & srks don was average or below average.even srk has in his interview has said some unpleasant things abt big b.hence if he is getting the same treatment ,he deserves it. big b should seriously stay away from this up politicians like mulayam & that irritating gur amar singh.big b should even let abhishek struggle on his own .he has already supported abhi a lot .abhishek would have been out of bollywood a long back if he would not have been big bs son.u cannot blame big b after aa he is a father & a father will do whatever he can to make his son a big success.

Hi Sanjay, the problem is that even the audience have start loosing Amitabh's chrisma after his acts with Amar Singh, for example grabing land in UP maharastra, forging governmnet documents etc etc.
