At this age and time of my life I seek peace: Amitabh Bachchan

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Actor Amitabh Bachchan has spoken at length about his name featuring in the Panama papers and Bofors scandal, explaining that he has always cooperated with the “system” but wishes to be left alone at this stage of his life. Bachchan wrote his anguished post on his blog on Sunday and said, “Tomorrow there could be more and the process of cooperation shall continue…”

The actor is one of the Indians figuring in the ‘Paradise Papers’, an investigation into offshore and banking assets carried out by the newspaper with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ). The actor’s post began as a response to a BMC notice sent to him for alleged “illegal construction” on his property.

“At this age and time of my life, I seek peace and freedom from prominence… To be left to lead the last few years of my life with and within myself… I do not seek epithets, I abhor them… I do not seek headlines, I do not deserve them… I do not seek acknowledgement, I am not qualified for it,” Amitabh posted on his blog on Sunday.
