Amitabh Bachchan and Shahrukh Khan have taken to Twitter to clear the air on reports which fueled the controversy involving Jaya Bachchan's criticism of Happy New Year.
In recent news reports, the Indian media took comments made by Jaya Bachchan out of context and claimed she insulted Happy New Year, the very movie her son, Abhishek Bachchan was a part of.
According to NDTV.com, Mrs. Bachchan criticised the movie at the Mumbai Literature Festival: “HNY is the most nonsensical film I’ve seen in recent years. I said that to the film’s lead actor as well. I watched it only because Abhishek was part of it. I told him he’s a great actor if he can act stupid in front of the camera like that."
This was followed by a flurry of reported rebuttals by Shahrukh Khan (Read: Amar Akbar Anthony was also nonsensical: SRK to Jaya Bachchan) as well as reports that Amitabh Bachchan was embarrassed by his wife's comments and the Bachchan clan had gone to SRK's house to apologise to the superstar.
There was also a report which suggested that Shahrukh had "rejected" the Bachchan family's apology.
However, Amitabh Bachchan and SRK have had enough and took to Twitter to clear the air.
