IT is not interested in Bachan’s glasses - yet
Reports did the wild rounds that the Income Tax department has sent a notice to Amitabh Bachan about his expensive sun glasses costing around 2.75 lakhs rupees. But the Mumbai IT Chief Commissioner has denied any such notice. Now it appears that it was the Big B himself who sent a notice to the IT Commissioner informing him that the report in a Mumbai tabloid that his spectacles were that expensive, is not accurate. He is reported to have told the Commissioner, "I am hastening to inform you in advance, and perhaps to prevent your department from taking the trouble of sending me another notice, that the report was inaccurate. You may, perhaps, assess in your own wisdom that the price of Rs 2.7 lakh for a pair of sunglasses is most improbable.” The provocation for this letter from the Super star must be the notice sent by the IT department to his family regarding Jalsa, their Juhu bungalow. The department wanted to know who owns the house, who stays there and details of payments of tax, fine etc,. Whether the IT department is going to pick up a little more notoriety or not, Amitabh and his new film are certainly getting some good free publicity. Curious people are sure to queue up to cinema theatres at least to have a look at those dark 3 lakh rupees worth sun glasses.
