Reacting to the statement of Former Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh on his fallout with Amitabh Bachchan, the megastar says he has the right to say whatever he wants to.
 
At the music launch of "Bhouri", Amar Singh was asked about Amitabh and his daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's names in Panama papers.
 
AmarSingh said that the "Piku" actor "warned" him against accepting Jaya Bachchan in politics, "considering her inconsistent nature and habits. But I didn’t adhere to his noble advice”.
 
Responding to Amar Singh's remarks, Amitabh said at the trailer launch of his upcoming film “TE3N”: “He (Amar Singh) is our friend and he has the right to say whatever he want to.”
 
Amar Singh was very close to the Bachchan family for a substantial number of years till some years back, and then they fell out.

Bachchan on Tuesday received the National Award for his performance in "Piku" and when Singh was asked about his reaction at the music launch of "Bhouri", he said: "I congratulate him for that, I have always said that there was no artist like him, neither is, nor will ever be. He is one of those fortunate artists to have seen destiny supporting him."
 
" He has made use of every genre of entertainment rightly at the right time," he added.
 
Singh also said that the the 73-year-old worked with directors of different eras and this makes him different.
 
"Other than Manmohan Desai and Prakash Mehra, he kept working with new directors like R. Balki. Despite being a 70-year-old, he tried to convince a father-in-law to love a girl of the age of his daughter in 'Cheeni Kum' and he did that with Jiah Khan in 'Nishabd' as well," he said.
 
Singh was very close to the Bachchan family for a substantial amount of years till some years back, and then had a fallout later on. Bachchan's name has also come up in the controversial Panama papers leak of tax documents of offshore companies and accounts of the rich.
 
When asked about it, Singh said: "Amitabh Bachchan's names are there in the Panama papers or not that you should ask the government. It's them to see if it is legal or illegal. I'm neither the Chief Minister or Prime Minister."
 
Bachchan's daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's name has also cropped up in the controversial list.
