My name has been misused: Bachchan on Panama papers leak
Bachchan said his name might have been 'misused'.
"I do not know any of the companies referred to by Indian Express - Sea Bulk Shipping Company Ltd, Lady Shipping Ltd, Treasure Shipping Ltd, and Tramp Shipping Ltd," Bachchan said in a statement available with the media.
"I have never been a director of any of the above stated companies. It is possible that my name has been misused. I have paid all my taxes including on monies spent by me overseas," he said.
