Maharashtra
Navnirman
Sena
(MNS)
chief
Raj
Thackeray
has
acted
tough
on
Samajwadi
Party
MP
and
actress
Jaya
Bachchan
for
her
comment
at
the
audio
launch
of
Drona
that
she
would
speak
in
Hindi,
as
she
belonged
to
Uttar
Pradesh.
Jaya
had
apologised
for
it
but
MNS
activists
want
her
to
apologise
publicly.
Following
this,
Amitabh
Bachchan
has
stepped
in.
The
Big
B
felt
that
his
wife
Jaya
should
apologise
if
the
people
of
Maharashtra
want
so.
This
is
what
he
wrote
in
his
blog:
"The
casual
off
the
cuff
remarks
made
by
her
at
the
music
launch
function
were
without
malice
or
deliberate
intent,
but
if
it
has
caused
hurt
to
the
sentiments
of
Maharashtra,
Maharashtrians
and
indeed
the
city
and
citizens
of
Mumbai,
then
she
must
seek
regret
and
offer
apology.
Everything
that
we
possess
today
is
what
came
to
us
from
this
great
state
and
city.
We
never
have
and
never
can
look
at
Maharashtra
with
disrespect.
If
inadvertently
this
is
what
has
been
construed,
then
we
apologize
and
are
sorry
and
seek
forgiveness
for
any
sentiments
that
have
been
hurt."
Having
experienced
similar
situation
in
the
past,
Amitabh
Bachchan
surely
knows
how
to
handle
such
controversies.
Moreover,
he
knows
that
his
film
The
Last
Lear
and
Abhishek
Bachchan's
film
Drona
would
be
in
danger
if
MNS
continues
the
agitation.
Jaya
needs
to
listen
to
his
hubby
this
time
around!
