Salim Khan slams Big B, he reverts

Noted script writer and Salman Khan's father, Salim Khan has slammed Amitabh Bachchan in an article published in a Maharashtrian daily. Khan had written that at times actors just concentrate on the pay packets and not the content they are delivering through their advertisements.

Salim Khan has also said that Big B has a habit of relying on people for help in times of need but forgets the same people in happier times.

Amitabh Bachchan reacted to the statements by saying that it nothing new for celebrities to be at the receiving end. "I am not an exception to it and people in a democratic country are free to express themselves." Big B was retaliating to Salim Khan's comment on his television ads for Uttar Pradesh government saying "UP mein hai dum, kyunki jurm hai yahaan kum ." Bachchan further elaborated by saying, "I do not know the reason for the supposed animosity as I take Salim Khan to be a close friend as his contribution to my career is impeccable.
