He is thinking about future and we should accept it. But for Jaya Bachchan, she is elder to us and I respect her feelings. But her opinion on drug use seemed political. Charity should begin at home. I was worried after seeing Jaya ji's expressions and opinions on this issue."

"Amar Singh ji helped Bachchan family and he did a lot and stood through thick and thin. But when he was hospitalised, where was Jaya ji? Where was Amit ji? Jaya ji said, 'Jis thaali...'. When Amar ji was in AIIMS, why were y distant? Who brought Jaya ji in politics? It was Amar Singh. Being a member of first family of Bollywood, why is she t supporting cause? Rhea is taking names in investigation which will help us clean muck, why is Jaya Ji taking this personally? She should come forward and prevent youth from taking drugs," she ded.
