Amitabh Bachchan has seen the toughest times in his life, and he stood like a rock and always bounced back in life. No matter whether it was hitting a professional low, or recovering from a serious accident, Amitabh is known for his strength to hit back in life. However, when he had gone bankrupt, there were few people who stood with him, and one of them was Aanjjan Srivastav, who was also his personal banker in those days.
Aanjjan Srivastav recalled Amitabh Bachchan’s low phase when he had a debt of Rs. 90 crores
It was in the ’90s when Amitabh Bachchan’s name when he had a huge debt on his shoulder. In an interview with Rajshri Unplugged, Amitabh Bachchan’s old friend, Aanjjan recalled the days when Amitabh’s company ABCL Corporation saw a huge financial crisis, and he was on the verge of bankruptcy. Aanjjan had met Amitabh during that time and shared that Amitabh Bachchan had instantly folded his hands as he had a debt of over Rs. 90 crores. Aanjjan was quoted as saying:
“When we met him, he immediately got up with folded hands. He said, ‘I will return your money as soon as possible’. I told him ‘We have not come for that. We have come because of your accountant’s mistake. You return the money when you can, and we trust you that you will give, and that your intention is right. But in this kind of banking, don’t do transactions with other banks.’ I came back to the bank and told them not to file any suit. Slowly he returned all the money.”
