Days after Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan was accused of plagiarism by poet Tisha Agarwal, the actor has apologised on Sunday night. The controversy originally began on Thursday after Amitabh Bachchan had shared a poem on his social media account.
The post went viral and garnered many praises but there was one comment that took all the attention as a woman claimed that she is the original writer of the poem and she wished she was attributed for it.
The tweet got 16,000 likes and a thousand comments. One comment was by woman named Tisha Agarwal, who said that the poem was originally written by her and wished she was credited for it.
The woman named Tisha Aggarwal wrote, “Sir, seeing my poem on your wall is a matter of great fortune for me. My happiness and pride would have been double had you given me the credit for it. Looking forward to your response.”
The woman was touched by his response. “Thank you sir for your greatness. I did not want your apology but your love. This is your blessing, which is my pride now,” she wrote. Amitabh tweeted the photo again and added the correction.
“This tweet credit should go to @TishaAgarwal , I was not aware of its origin .. someone sent it to me , I thought it to be good and posted ..apologies,” he wrote. However, he may have tagged the wrong Tisha in his tweet this time.
On the work front, Bachchan is currently busy hosting the latest season of Kaun Banega Crorepati. His last release was Gulabo Sitabo opposite Ayushmann Khurrana. He will next be seen in Brahmastra, Chehre, Mayday, and Jhund.
