Amar Singh, who was one of Amitabh Bachchan's closest friends, has dropped a bomb, claiming that the husband-wife duo of Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan aren't living together anymore.
While tabloids have always hinted at a fractured relationship between the couple, there were no reports that said the two acting legends live separately.
ABP Majha quoted Singh as saying, "People blame me for every possible rift in the country. When the Ambanis split, they projected me as the person who created the Mahabharat between them. It wasn't me. People have said the same about me and the Bachchans. But even before I met Amitabh Bachchan, he and Jaya Bachchan were living separately. One of them was living in Pratiksha and the other lives in his other bungalow Janak. There were also speculations about a problem between Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Jaya. I am not responsible for that."
Both Pratiksha and Janak are in Juhu but at a considerable distance from each other and aren't interconnected. Janak is usually used as their family's office.
Amar Singh has recently been accused of causing a rift in the Samajwadi Party. Clearing himself of the blame, the Rajya Sabha MP says that the media always believes him to be responsible for every rift whether it concerns the Samajwadi Party, the Ambanis or the Bachchans.
Aishwarya, however, was recently spotted having a candid moment with Jaya at an awards show. Aish was seen resting her head on Jaya Bachchan’s shoulder as if she was her own mother. A couple of Aish’s pictures with father-in-law Amitabh Bachchan were also doing the rounds on the Internet. And she looked more than happy spending time with them!
Singh had even earlier made a statement saying that it was Amitabh Bachchan’s decision to not stay friends with him. He had also claimed that Bachchan had warned him to not accept Jaya Bachchan in his political party considering her “inconsistent nature and habits”. Amitabh Bachchan, reportedly said that being a friend, Singh has the right to say what he wants.
