Bahchan wants tree relocated, not hacked |
|
 Superstar
Amitabh Bachchan has denied that he
wants to hack a tree that is blocking the way to his
office here, clarifying that he only wishes it to be
relocated.
On Monday, a local paper carried a front-page report
on residents of Juhu being angry about a tree that
Bachchan wants to "hack" down in the premises of his
new office, Nyoma, in Juhu.
According to the report, the whole of Juhu was
determined to save the tree.
Bachchan, who is currently shooting for Apoorva
Lakhiya's thriller in Bangkok, was more exasperated
than amused.
"Yes, it's a tree, and a lovely tree, but it's
blocking the gate to my office. But we've no
intention of 'hacking' it. Hacking is for computer
crooks, not for law-abiding citizens," Bachchan told
IANS.
So what are his plans now regarding the tree? "If we
get a written consent we shall remove it from the
driveway and relocate it a few feet away. If we
don't get the consent we'll let it be. Where's the
controversy?
"The municipal authorities have come to inspect the
tree at our request. Further instruction from them
is awaited. That's it. Tamasha over. Now could we
all go back to do doing our work?" a clearly
irritated Bachchan asked.
"How did the media come to presume that I am guilty
of anything improper? Would it be such an issue if a
celebrity weren't involved?"
"For the kind information of those who are
protesting about a perfectly normal domestic issue
rather than a major environmental issue, we're doing
nothing illegal or surreptitious. |
