There are many examples he use friendship or relations only for making wealth or achieving position for him and his family members.
Mulayam Singh : Helped him to acquire lands Amar Singh : Helped Jaya Bachchan to become MP Rajiv Gandhi : Helped him to become Congress MP, where BigB took benefit of sympathy, generated by Indira Gandhi murder.

No question about his acting skills. Problem is when he assumes the role of a father in real life. He very knows that with stiff competition, Abhishek will be washed away. We have seen before how Amit Kumar perished after the death of Kishore Kumar.

Don't you have any other weapon than communalism? What proof do u have that Khan's support Pakistan?
I totally agree with this article. I too really admired him and his voice once upon a time. I started hating him because his son married Aishwarya Rai. Since it is in fashion to call her plastic queen and hate her I too hated her. I thought Abhishek and Rani Mukherji made a wonderful couple. Some people say Rani is a cunning woman but I don't agree with that. Can they prove their allegation. But I can agree that Aishwarya is shrewd without any proof as that is in fashion again ! Then my hatred for the Bachchans was intensified when Jaya Bachchan gave only 5 out of 10 to Rani Mukherji on Koffee With Karan. How could she do that to such a wonderful actor whose talent wasn't discovered till her career was resurrected by Yash Chopra with Saathiya. Jaya also said that Ash respects her elder, listen to them and stands behind them. How horrible? Modern liberated women stand in front of their elders, talk a lot but still respect them. Till then I used to say that Jaya Bachchan is a lady who knows and speaks her mind. But after that as per the latest fashion I changed my opinion to Jaya Bachchan has an opinion on everything! She should take it easy. Then Amitabh didn't invite a lot of People for the marriage of Abhi and Ash? How could he do that? He should have hired the ground where Filmfare awards are held for the marriage and called as many people as he could.Atleast he could have invited Rani.
Then I hate him for his association with Amar Singh and Mulayam Singh Yadav. It's

i like ur comment-within few words u have spoken everything--hats off to you.
bachchans if going temple, the boy getting married to the girl she like and the girl also like the man-then why become kabab main haddi.people just hate because its fashion to hate bachchans-- shame on them. THE PERSON WHO SAYS THAT WE SHOULD CALL IT INDIAN FILMWALA INSTEAD OF BOLLYWOOD because some firangi hindustani made it sound like that shows how much he loves India and his workplace. Yes i do agree that association of his with Mulayam and Amar is very wrong, but any body tells me that when he was going through the rough patch did anybody came forward from the industry to support him , amar bailed him out and that too when his house was about to be sold. DO NOT TAKE ME WRONG BECAUSE I HATE AMAR AND MULAYAM FOR THEIR GOONDARAJ.
Amitabh Bachchan is True MUQADAR KA SIKANDAR . Last week's Cheeni Kum has fared very well despite opening against SOAL, in many places its faring better than the multistarrer action potboiler. It has fared specially well in Bengal and southern metros like Bangalore and Chennai, and even in some 2nd tier centers like Indore, Madhya Pradesh. Though in light of Nishabd, its distributor only released the film in a restricted number of prints (37 in Mumbai vs 77 for SOAL for example); the Amitabh Bachchan-Tabu starrer has proven to break out at the box office on its own. CK has already recovered its 10 crore budget and is poised to return 200% its cost going forward.
On the other hand, despite it too highlighting Amitabh Bachchan along with a more numerous multi-starcast, large number of prints and extraordinary publicity blitz, Shootout at Lokhandwala failed to rake in extra-ordinary collections per say. The collections are good but well short of the top openings recorded this year (Guru, TRPP). In balance however, the film hasn't crashed out either. It is drawing reasonably well in Mumbai and Delhi in its 2nd weekend. It shall do about 25-27 crores net in India making it a recovery film if not a big hit. Cheeni Kum 1 Rs. 8,10,78,955 Rs. 8,10,78,955 Rs. 11,27,42,094 Rs. 11,27,42,094 $383,675 ?215,736 Hit

It is a hit here in Bangalore. Appreciated by all in town. The touch of class is evident. We adore you Mr Bachchan. Thank you Renab for the information.
I am in US and my non-indian Managers and employee taking about AB, Aish, India Gandhi, Atal Bihari and Some time Rajini and Kamal.
They even don't know Sonia and others indian actors. That's why most of the jealous about AB.
AB should purchase any land but he should keep himself from Political contro. Most of the people used AB for growth but same time AB got resistance. AB and Aish most attractive personality from bollywood. Let's other do hard work and come forward rather than resisting AB all the time.
I m really happy to read this article.. Amitabh and his son deserve this. Apart from acting they(only amitabh) dont know anything and not done anything to the society. Abhishek is good for nothing. Can anybody tell me the strength of Abhishek? if he was not son of AB definetly he would have been no where in the film industry....

Becoming SON of AB should not curse. Abhisekh did lot of Movie and some of them did well. He did well in GURU and Dhoom/Dhoom2. Let's people will decide, like who is good or Bad not film industry. AB got lot of resistance from Media begning of career. But what happend?? He is having huge base of Fan in India/USA/UK and some other coutry. Abhi can't touch his father/wife without doing hardwork. I don't understand like why other actors jealous about AB. AB created new Markets for these junk guys. If Mani ratnam wants ABHI as a actor, whats the problem??? Why always Hrithik becomes lead in Rakesh Rosham production. He should promote others. At leats AB, ABHi and Ash paid highest IT tax to India. They are doing a lot for Indian Image out sied the India.

Totally agree with this perception, only the envy of the other so called non-entities is behind this venemous attack. Isn't it clear that all those who orchestrate these malefic propaganda don't like Amitabh and its only because of this callowy experience that drives character people blabber about Bachchans.
Every george,dick and harry cry about not being included in the guest list of Abhi-Aishwarya's wedding not keeping in mind that the host (Amitabh) holds the exclusive right to invite the guest, as per their interests, not keeping what the public wants because it a weeding invitation, not a nautanki to call upon the entire fillum wallahs. So the host does what a host should do, so did Amitabh.
Anybody can cry that somebody is getting more fame and name, but that would only show their immaturity and how misanthropic they are. So mixing the politics with personal life to get even with Big B is totally grouchy and those who accuse him better get their act together to salvage what ever pride they have. Crying on Big B is like crying on Indian public who chose a non-Indian born leader to be their party head, which i guess doesn't happen in Italia too, but again crying or mad mouthing such a person is wrong too, as it is childish. So nationalism apart one should impart some sense to those who cry on somebody like Bachchans.
This is just the 'Beginning of the End' of Bachchan's Era. This is as simple as that.
Everything that starts has to come ot an end, period. Those who think that at the age of 67 he will bounce back, they are living in fools paradise and that is final LOL.
The 'bubble' of his great come back, after so many disasters both professionally & personally, is about to 'burst'.

samjhane ko ghalib bhane bana lo. living in fools paradise-great going see the stats and then talk.
If the reports are true then these developments are sad. Like in real life and politics inter-personnel relationships fluctuate. It is very important in society how you deal with people. While it is not possible to please anyone, care must be taken not to rub anyone the wrong way. People with huge egos are easily disturbed. Being neutral is very difficult. Plenty of expectations ruin relationships. Most important of all (as I personally experienced) jealousy is the most important reason why people will do anything to drag you down. There is no treatment for jealousy and egoism. Amith could have avoided rubbing people the wrong way because the fame, prosperity et al, who knows, "kal ho na ho".
