Amar Singh and Amitabh Bachchan
An emotional Amar Singh, who is fighting his battle with life, on Tuesday said that he regrets overreacting against Amitabh Bachchan and his family. Amar Singh sent Amitabh Bachchan a video from a hospital bed in Singapore in which he has apologized to Bachchans for his comments in the past.
"Today is my father's death anniversary and I got a message for the same from @SrBachchan ji. At this stage of life when I am fighting a battle of life and death, I regret my over-reaction against Amit ji and family. God bless them all."
In a Facebook video posted by Amar Singh from Hospital, Amar Singh said, "Today is my father’s death anniversary & I got a message for the same from Amitabh Bachchan ji. Sometimes you are aggressively reactive to a person whom you have given all your life. Similar turbulence of emotion did take place in our mutual releationship. At this stage of life when I am fighting a battle of life & death I regret for my over reaction against Amit ji & family. God bless them all."
"...the more strong a relationship is, the more it hurts when it breaks..." Amar Singh added.
For the past 10 years, I was not only keeping distance from Bachchan family but also used to believe that they hate me... however he (Amitabh Bachchan) used to always send him messages whether it was his birthday or fathers death anniversary... so I feel that I overreacted against him..."
There used to be a time when Amar Singh used to be very close with the Bachchan family and often spotted together during events. However, times changed and differences paved ways for bitterness in their relations.
A couple of years ago, Singh had expressed his hurt over falling out with the Bachchans.
Speaking about his relations with Amitabh Bachchan, Singh said he had differences with Jaya Bachchan and Amitabh had ‘apologised’ to him.
In 2011, Singh had accused the Bachchan family of betraying him in the time of need. The friendship came to an end when Singh was thrown out of the Samajwadi Party over cash-for-votes scam and he openly challenging them to win an election on their own.
Jaya Bachchan is a member of the Rajya Sabha and represents Samajwadi Party. Singh felt that Jaya wants to remain a Rajya Sabha member because she thinks it gives her an identity.
Singh had recommended Amitabh Bachchan to Mulayam Singh for making him Brand Ambassador of Uttar Pradesh. Also, he had tried for the nomination of Amitabh's wife for the membership of the Upper House.
In 2016, Amar Singh was asked to comment on his relationship with the Bachchan family when he said, "I have made public vows in Bareilly two days ago. As far as Aishwarya (Rai Bachchan) is concerned, she has always given me utmost respect and Abhishek (Bachchan) has not uttered a single word against me. I don’t have any issue with Amitabh Bachchan. He actually warned me not to accept Jaya Bachchan in my political field considering her inconsistent nature and habits. But I did not adhere to his noble advise. He also warned me that she is very inconsistent in her ways so don’t expect any consistency as far as she is concerned. And subsequently, he sought an apology on her behalf and the matter was done and over. Thereafter, at Anil Ambani’s residence, at a dinner, a major squabble took place and that too on behalf of Jaya Bachchan and he became a party to my dispute with Mrs. Bachchan."
