Amitabh Bachchan Cancelled Bill Clinton’s Invitation

December 2, 2008. Superstar Amitabh Bachchan has cancelled an invitation of former US president Bill Clinton to participate in his Clinton Global Initiative after the terror strikes in Mumbai, saying he wanted to be in the country during this time of crisis.

“I cancelled. I am NOT going to leave my country in this troubled hour to travel to a foreign land to lend cause to a foreign initiative, patronized and guided by a foreigner, for his benefit!! I need to see initiative here in my country,” he wrote in his blog.

But there's a modicum of solidarity offered from Bollywood royalty, whose reactions run the gamut from incendiary to introspective. For example, future Johnny Depp co-star Amitabh Bachchan blogged about how he slept with a licensed .32 revolver under his pillow. 

Similarly eschewing mainstream media was erstwhile Oscar contender Aamir Khan, who opted to blog about the demented pathology of the terrorists and the valor of the Mumbai Police Department. But the tersest reaction came from Shilpa Shetty, who not too long ago earned burning effigies for publicly snogging Richard Gere at a charity event. Her words summed up what everyone around the world was thinking: “
