Amitabh to pay off farmers’ loans

After Maharashtra, Amitabh Bachchan will pay off loans of farmers from Uttar Pradesh and will personally meet some of them to give them their bank letters. The superstar will be taking care of 1,398 farmer loans from Uttar Pradesh amounting to over Rs40.5 million (Dh2.07 million).

He has also invited 70 farmers to Mumbai by blocking an entire train compartment for their travel, to personally give them their bank letters on November 26, Bachchan’s spokesperson confirmed.

Earlier this year, the Paa star, who is in Baroda to accept the Sayaji Ratna Award, helped over 350 farmers by paying off their debts and also helped the families of around 44 martyrs of Maharashtra.

Bachchan and his wife Jaya Bachchan handed over the amount to the farmers and army martyr families privately in Mumbai a few months ago.
