Bollywood and people in the Indian financial system are shocked at Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s names being involved in Panama Papers leak. There are many other big names in India too involved in the Panama Papers expose, done by the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists (ICIJ).
While many others are yet to react, Amitabh Bachchan has released a statement saying he is clean in the entire matter. Bollywood actor also says that he has nothing to do with any such dealings, either in Bahamas or anywhere else.
Here is Amitabh Bachchan’s official statement released by his PR channel:
“I do not know any of the companies referred to by Indian Express – Sea Bulk Shipping Company Ltd, Lady Shipping Ltd, Treasure Shipping Ltd and Tramp Shipping Ltd. I have never been a director of any of the above stated companies. It is possible that my name has been misused. I have paid all my taxes including on monies spent by me overseas. Monies that I have remitted overseas have been in compliance with law, including remittances through LRS, after paying Indian taxes. In any event the news report in Indian Express does not even suggest any illegality on my part.”
