India Today reports: Politician Amar Singh was a close friend of Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, until their fallout a few years ago. Amitabh Bachchan had earlier remarked, "He is a friend, he has the right to say what he wants to say," when Amar Singh claimed that Big B warned him not to accept Jaya as a member of the Samajwadi Party. However, his latest remark may not go down too well with the superstar.


Amar Singh has claimed that Amitabh and Jaya live separately, and also hinted at a rift between Jaya and bahu Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. ABP Majha quoted the Rajya Sabha MP as saying that the media believes him to be responsible for every rift, whether it concerns the Samajwadi Party, the Ambanis or the Bachchans.


He said, "Even before I met Amitabh Bachchan, he and Jaya Bachchan were living separately. One of them was living in Pratiksha and the other lived in his other bungalow Janak. There were also speculations about a problem between Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Jaya. I am not responsible for that."
Amar Singh has earlier gone on record to say that it was Amitabh's decision not to stay friends with him.
