Mumbai, June 12, 2019:

In a great show of charity, 'Big-B' Amitabh Bachchan has cleared the loans of over 2000 farmers from Bihar.

The megastar wrote on his blog: ""A promise made, done... the farmers from Bihar that had outstanding loans, picked 2100 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."

Lat year, the megastar had made a similar gesture as he had cleared the loans of over one thousand farmers in Uttar Pradesh.

Hinting that he will also offer financial aid to the martyrs of Pulwama, the 76-year-old actor also wrote that there is "another promise to be completed".

"To the family and wives of the brave hearts that sacrificed their lives for the country, at Pulwama, a small gesture of financial aid .. true 'shaheeds'," he wrote on his blog.

It may be mentioned that at least 40 CRPF jawans had lost their lives in Pulwama of Kashmir after a Jaish-e-Mohammed militant rammed his SUV laden with explosives into a vehicle belonging to a military convoy.
