I feel exonerated Amitabh Bachchan
New Delhi, June 12 (IANS) "One breathes freely again", said megastar Amitabh Bachchan after a petition seeking a criminal case against him for not honouring his commitment to build a women's college was dismissed.
"...I feel exonerated in the immediate matter of the land. The justice system has prevailed. The courts have dismissed the petition filed," the actor posted on his blog bigb.bigadda.com after a court in Uttar Pradesh's Barabanki district dismissed the petition Friday.
"The case has been won and one breathes freely again. Breathes freely again because of the reassurance the legal system gives to individuals who are wrongly and unjustly implicated. Breathes freely again because those that indulge in frivolous complaints and cause considerable anguish to the victimised have been given a lesson by the justice system," he added.
In 2006, Amitabh, along with his wife Jaya, son Abhishek, Aishwarya and close friend Amar Singh visited Daulatpur village and declared that a women's college, named after his daughter-in-law Aishwarya, would be be built there.
However, when there was no activity on the plot ever since, the village head moved the court.
Amitabh is particularly upset on being targeted time and again.
"Year upon year month after month, some accusation or the other is directed towards me or my family. Ridicule and callous statements follow and what remains in the minds of the people is these negative untruthful impressions," he posted.

BigB host KBC 4 केबीसी-4 होस्ट करेंगे बिग बी
मुंबई। बॉलीवुड के शहंशाह अमिताभ बच्चन एक बार फिर छोटे पर्दे पर नजर आएंगे। सूत्रों के मुताबिक सदी के महानायक टेलीविजन जगत के अब तक के सबसे ज्यादा पॉपुलर रिएलटी शो "कौन बनेगा करोड़पति" के सीजन 4 को होस्ट करेंगे। ताजा रिपोर्ट के मुताबिक केबीसी-4 के लिए अमिताभ का नाम तय हो चुका है। इसके साथ ही शो होçस्ंटग को लेकर लंबे समय से जारी अटकलों पर विराम लग गया है।
टीवी इंडस्ट्री के सूत्रों के मुताबिक गेम शो का चौथा सीजन साल के अंत तक टीवी पर प्रसारित किया जाएगा। इस बार यह शो स्टार प्लस के बजाए किसी और चैनल पर दिखाया जाएगा। सूत्रों की मानें तो इसकी आधिकारिक घोषणा जल्द ही कर दी जाएगी।
गौरतलब है कि अमिताभ बच्चन ने वर्ष 2001 में कौन बनेगा करोड़पति के पहले सीजन की मेजबानी कर छोटे पर्दे पर धमाकेदार आगाज किया था। कुछ ही दिनों में केबीसी ने हर घर में अपनी जगह बना ली। वर्ष 2006 में भी बिग बी ने केबीसी द्वितीय होस्ट किया था लेकिन उनके बीमार पड़ने के बाद इसे बीच में ही रोकना पड़ा। इसके बाद 2007 में बॉलीवुड के किंग खान ने केबीसी के तीसरे सीजन को पेश किया लेकिन शाहरूख दर्शकों में अपनी खास जगह नहीं बना पाए थे। बिग बी ने हाल ही में कलर्स चैनल पर प्रसारित बिग बॉस सीजन 3 की भी मेजबानी की थी।

Petition against Amitabh Bachchan dismissed
Lucknow, June 11 (IANS) A court in Uttar Pradesh's Barabanki district Friday dismissed a petition seeking a criminal case against Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan for not honouring his commitment to build a women's college.
The case was sought to be registered by a woman village head of Daulatpur village who demanded action against Bachchan for allegedly "defrauding and cheating" the local population.
The college, according to Bachchan, was to be named after his star daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai.
The court had directed the police to carry out a preliminary inquiry on the charges leveled against Bachchan.
It is learnt that the report absolved Bachchan of the multiple charges levelled by Raj Kumari.
"The complaint appears to frivolous as none of the charges could be substantiated by facts", a police official said.
In an application before the court, Raj Kumari had accused Bachchan of "playing fraud" on the villagers by "deceiving the local population in the name of building a women's college".
She even charged Bachchan with threatening her with dire consequences when she approached him to honour his commitment.
Bachchan, along with his wife Jaya, son Abhishek, Aishwarya and close friend Amar Singh visited the village in 2006 amid much fanfare and declared that the college would be be built there.
However, there was no activity on the plot in all these years following which the village head moved the court.
