Controversies | • His name appeared in the Bofors scandal in which he was later declared not-guilty. • He was indicted for submitting false documents to prove that he is a farmer. • Stardust imposed a 15-years ban on him during his peak acting years. According to his blog, he brought the idea of National Emergency and ban on Media. So, media took that otherwise and banned Amitabh Bachchan: means no interviews, no mention or pictures, etc. • In 1996, he had to face a legal battle for organizing Miss World competition inappropriately. |
