Amitabh Bachchan Pays Off Loans Of Over 2100 Bihar Farmers, Invites Some Of Them To His Bungalow

“A promise made done…” Amitabh Bachchan wrote in his blog as he paid off the loans of over 2000 farmers in Bihar. The wrath of the weather often impacts the harvest, which leaves farmers in our country helpless. Debt-ridden when they fail to repay their loans, many resort to extreme steps like suicide as they’re unable to provide for their families.

Bollywood megastar, Amitabh Bachchan often comes forward to extend a helping hand towards the farmers. Accordingly, this year the superstar picked over 2000 farmers from Bihar and paid off their debts.

“The farmers from Bihar that had outstanding loans picked 2100 of them and paid off their amount with an OTS (One Time Settlement) with the Bank called some of them over to Janak and personally gave it to them at the hands of Shweta and Abhishek,” he wrote on his blog.

“There is the gift of those that suffer from the inability to pay back the loans. They be now from the state of Bihar,” he added. He had also helped clear off the loans of over 1000 farmers in Uttar Pradesh last year.

Earlier this year, Bachchan provided financial aid to families of Pulwama martyrs. “To the family and wives of the brave hearts that sacrificed their lives for the country, at Pulwama, a small gesture of financial aid .. true ‘shaheeds’,” he wrote on his blog.

Huge respect to the cine icon for his kindness and compassion towards our nation’s farmers.
