Pensions for the Bachchans

IN Media Watch Briefs | 21/10/2015

The Bachchans do well for themselves whenever the Samajwadi Party is in power in UP.  Three generations of Bachchans have been given the cash award Yash Bharti Samman for their contribution to the arts. Now Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan will be among the first beneficiaries of the 50K monthly pension announced for the recipients of this award. TOI explains that this award is discontinued whenever the SP is not in power! We'll wait to see if the family will be embarrassed enough to decline the pensions.
