After paying off loans of 2,100 Indian farmers, Amitabh Bachchan has done more to help the people of his country. This time, the Piku actor went back to an old promise of his. In February 2019, after the Pulwama attack, Big B had promised to donate money to the families of CRPF personnel who had been martyred. As of 13 June 2019, the promise stands fulfilled.

“Another promise fulfilled .. I had wished to give some monetary gesture and consideration to the family .. I did ..,” he wrote on his blog.

Big B also wrote about how the deed had been achieved with the support of CRPF seniors. “It took a while to get the names and addresses of those that lost their lives, but our efforts were fruitful, even when we had given the intention, and sought advice or indication of how I could help them ..,” he added.

The actor also wrote about how, just like the loan-clearing event, he wanted this one to be done within the premises of his office Janak, so that his children Abhishek and Shweta could also be a part of it and receive the blessings and affection of the families.

On 12 June, it was reported that Amitabh Bachchan had cleared the loans of around 2,100 farmers in Bihar. He also took to Twitter to announce that “T 3192 - .. deed done .. more tomorrow”.

Here’s what he wrote on his blog while making the announcement: “A promise made done... the farmers from Bihar that had outstanding loans, picked 2,100 of them and paid off their amount with a OTS (One Time Settlement) with the bank... called some of them over to Janak and personally gave it to them at the hands of Shweta and Abhishek.”

Previously also Amitabh Bachchan has helped provide aid to farmers in the states of Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh.
