Amitabh did not take money for singing national anthem - CAB official

Several stars both from Cricket and film industries made their presence at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, last Saturday, where India won against Pakistan in the ICC World Twenty20 2016 cricket match between the arch rivals. Few of them to mention are West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Pakistan's former captain Imran Khan, former Indian cricketers Sachin Tendulkar, Sunil Gavaskar, Virender Sehwag, and Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan who were all there for a felicitation ceremony before the match.

Amitabh sings national anthem

The highlight was Amitabh singing national anthem at the Eden Gardens on Saturday before the India-Pakistan match. According to a CAB official, the star has not charged a penny for singing.

Earlier, a report went viral which suggested that approximately 4 crores were charged by Amitabh for his appearance. This forced fans to question the star’s patriotism. The air was made clear on Sunday by a top official. The official denied the payment of money to Amitabh and added that he booked his flight tickets and even paid hotel bills himself.
