So, a tweet by Amitabh Bachchan recently grabbed our eyeballs. The superstar had slammed a leading online entertainment portal as they captured him in a Bohemian look against his consent. Bachchan was heading for a TV commercial shoot and as per the contract, was not allowed to reveal his look. The photo soon spread all over the internet. This didn’t go down well with the actor and he chose to speak on the micro-blogging site. Here’s what he said.
The actor further stated the look was being ‘guarded’ by him, but the photographer still managed to capture a photo. Not nice! But this is what followed.
Bachchan soon received a letter of apology which absolutely melted his heart. The letter came from photographer who wholeheartedly apologised for what happened.
“I have strict rules of not clicking any images of any celebrities if there is any disapproval. This will be my first instance in my 15 years career that an artist is so upset. There is no paparazzi culture in India an there is very little money, we do it to create good content. By hurting you we have done a very wrong thing,” a portion of the letter read.
To read the full letter, follow the tweet below:

What the photographer did was not right, but we have rarely seen such a gentle gesture from a media professional before. An amused Bachchan accepted that he never received such an honest letter throughout his career before.
This is to be remembered as an example!
