At this age and time of my life I seek peace: Amitabh Bachchan on offshore account Allegations

November 06, 2017 20:14

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 yesterday and said, "Tomorrow there could be more and the process of cooperation shall continue..."

His outpouring came hours before the Indian Express newspaper reported that the actor is one of the more than 700 Indian individuals and entities figuring in the Paradise Papers, an investigation into offshore and banking assets carried out by the newspaper with the International Consortium

of Investigative Journalists.

It is not clear if the actor knew about the Paradise Papers beforehand or that his name was going to figure in the list.
