Barabanki (UP) (PTI): Two months after getting reprieve from Allahabad High Court in the controversial land purchase in the district, megastar Amitabh Bachchan on Sunday laid the foundation stone of a girls college in the name of his daughter-in-law and actor Aishwarya here at a function which acquired a high political profile.
Bachchan, wife Jaya, son Abhishek and daughter-in-law Aishwarya alongwith Samajawadi Party leader Amar Singh and Chief Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav attended the function which coincided with SP general secretary's birthday.
After the 'bhoomi pujan', Bachahan laid the foundation stone of 'Aishwarya Bachchan girls inter college'.
Besides the glamour and glitz provided by the presence of the Bachchans, a galaxy of UNPA leaders N Chandrababu Naidu (TDP), NC patron Farooq Abdullah and INLD chief Om Prakash Chautala and actress-turned-politician Jayaprada were present on the occasion.
"I am grateful, I have been given this honour by the elders in our family," said the Bollywood diva gracing the occasion but added it would have been better if grandfather Harivansha Rai Bachchan or grandmother Teji Bachchan, her father-in-law Amitabh or mother-in-law Jaya got it before her.
Amitabh had bought land in the village with the objective of setting up an inter college.
The Allahabad High Court had about a month and half ago cleared Amitabh of all charges in the land deal and also ordered that no criminal or civil prosecution could be launched against him.
The court also accepted Amitabh's plea of giving up his claim on the gram sabha land.
