Amitabh Bachchan accepts invitation to visit Pakistan

Pakistan’s ex-Prime Minister Chaudhry Shujaat Hussain had an invitation letter to Amitabh Bachchan to visite Pakistan, through actor Raza Murad who had visited Pakistan.

Bachchan thanked Shujaat for inviting him to Pakistan, has accepted the invitation and said that he will visit Pak whenever he gets an opportunity.

“Thank you for your letter of March 21, 2014, and for your kind words expressed in it,” Big B wrote in a letter dated April 18. 

“My mother’s ancestral roots go back to Lyallpur now Faisalabad, where my mother was born and to Lahore Government College where she spent her educational life,” he said.

He further added that his grand father was a prominent Lawyer of port city in Karachi and his father was also in a revenue ministerial post for the erstwhile Punjab government now in Pakistan.

The actor thanked Pakistanis for the support and affection which they have extended him over the years. “I have very vivid and emotional memories of well wishers from Pakistan who prayed for my recovery during my injury on the sets of “‘Coolie'”, he said. 

“I am most grateful to you for your kind invitation and shall most certainly keep this in mind whenever there is an opportunity to visit your country,” the letter read. He also apologized Shujaat for the delayed response to his invitation. 

Guess Mr. Bachchan could try doing his bit to bring peace between the two countries.
