Megastar Amitabh Bachchan has revealed he will be paying off loans of over 850 farmers from UP. 

The 76-year-old actor said he previously helped over 350 farmers from Maharashtra by clearing their loans. 

“It has been most-satisfying experience to give some to our countrymen who sacrificed their lives for us. Forty-four families diversified into 112 entities were given out in my small way from Maharashtra. More needs to be done for other parts of the country too. It shall be done.

“Over 350 farmers’ loans that were difficult to pay off, and to prevent them from committing suicide, were paid off some days back... Earlier, farmer loans from Andhra, Vidarbha had been done... Now, 850 farmers from UP have been identified and their loans amounting to over Rs 5.5 cr shall be taken care of,” he wrote on his blog. — PTI
