Standing on the shore of life and death, Samajwadi Party Amar Singh leader posted a tweet over his riff with Bachchan family in the past. He wrote on Twitter, "Today is my father death anniversary & I got a message for the same from @SrBachchan ji. At this stage of life when I am fighting a battle of life & death I regret for my overreaction against Amit ji & family. God bless them all."
As per Amar, he was diagnosed with a kidney ailment a few years ago, is 'fighting a battle of life and death'. Amar Singh and Amitabh Bachchan were considered to be one of the closest friends.
In an interview of 2017, Amar Singh had said, "Even before I met Amitabh Bachchan, he and Jaya Bachchan were living separately. One of them was living in Pratiksha and the other lived in his other bungalow Janak. There were also speculations about a problem between Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Jaya. I am not responsible for that."
He had revealed that Amitabh warned him to not accept Jaya Bachchan's Samajwadi Party membership. On the other side Amitabh rubbished such claim and said, "He is a friend, he has the right to say what he wants to say."
Singh had also revealed that Amitabh's name was omitted from the Panama leak, "There is stoic silence on part of Mr Bachchan on Panama case which will make a nayak look like khalnayak."
It was Amar Singh who had helped Amitabh Bachchan to come out of financial crisis after the Bachchan's production house, ABCL, shut down. However, when Singh was jailed there friendship broke.
Singh had said, "When I got bail, Mr Bachchan came to see me, but I was not impressed. ... Bachchan only came after I was granted bail and was in the hospital. I was very cold and formal with him because he waited. He is a politically correct, suave person. Subrata Roy was also the same. I went to see him in Tihar twice. I said that I must do to people what they did to me. He took far too long to come."
