The whole film industry was outraged when Sayani Bhagat, a former Femina Miss India World, accused Amitabh Bachchan, Shiney Ahuja, and Sajid Khan of sexual harassment in 2011. Soon after Sayani made serious accusations against Big B in front of the public, Big B reported the incident to the authorities, and it was then discovered that Sayani had been a victim of cybercrime. Although Sayani had clarified everything following the probe and had released a statement to the media that might be interpreted as: "I have exchanged mails with him (Amitabh), and he understands that some third party is involved. He took it to the police from his side as well. He has filed another complaint. I even spoke to some other actors, and they all understand that I have been victimised."
The late famous actor Kader Khan and Amitabh Bachchan are still recognised as one of the most successful on-screen partners in the Hindi cinema business. They collaborated on numerous blockbuster films. Aside from their on-screen chemistry, the two had a wonderful relationship off-screen as well. However, Amitabh soon began to ascend new ladders of fame and fortune, which not only made him a little conceited but also rather self-centered. Kader Khan once shared the entire account of how his lovely and genuine friendship with Amitabh came to an end during an interview with a news website. He said, “"I used to refer to him as Amit. One day, a producer from the South film industry asked me, 'Aap Sir ji ko mila?.' I asked him, 'Kaun Sir ji?' He said, 'Aapko Sir ji nahin maalum? That tall man', and I saw him pointing at Amitabh Bachchan. I said woh toh Amit hai, Sir ji kabse ho gaye? He said, 'We will call him Sirji from now on'. And everybody actually started calling him by that name. Mere muh se nikla nahin Sir ji, aur main nikal gaya uss group se.”
Amar Singh, a late politician, and Amitabh Bachchan, a great actor, once provided everyone with some realistic friendship ideals. Amar and Amitabh were the real-life equivalent of "Jai-Veeru," getting photographed by the media at each other's family gatherings and making romantic gestures to one another. However, Amitabh's actual friendship with Amar had come to an end for reasons that were best known to them, just like many other friendships in his life. Amar Singh talked about his friendship with Amitabh Bachchan in an interview with Tridib Raman, the editor. The politician had also made hints as to why they had broken up. He said. “Whatever I did for Amitabh Bachchan, I did for selfish reasons, in the manner we do for our children, we do it for our satisfaction. There's a saying in English' help the needy, not the greedy'. I stood with Amitabh in his tough times but they all vanished during my troubles. I am not bothered by the fact that I had helped him.”
Nishabd, one of the most divisive films ever made, was a valiant attempt to push back against society's limits on morality and appeal by the legendary Ram Gopal Varma. However, after seeing their daring and passionate kissing scene in the movie, the 44-year age gap between Amitabh and Jiah sparked a massive media scandal. There were also rumours that Amitabh Bachchan's wife, Jaya Bachchan, was furious with her husband's choice to participate in such a movie.
