Mumbai: Observing that its nothing new for celebrities to be at the receiving end, superstar Amitabh Bachchan has said he is not an exception to it and people in a democratic country are free to express themselves.
He was reacting to noted script writer Salim Khan's comment on his television ads for Uttar Pradesh government saying UP mein hai dum, kyunki jurm hai yahaan kum (UP is powerful because there is less crime here).
"This is a democratic country and everyone has the right to express themselves," he told reporters during a press conference on his forthcoming film Bhoothnath.
In an article published in a daily here, Khan wrote at times actors just concentrate on the pay packets and not the content they are delivering through their advertisements.
Bachchan said its nothing new for celebrities to be at the receiving end and he is not an exception to it.
Big B also said he is not going to work with Ram Gopal Varma again due to the bitter experience he had during Aag, the remake of Sholey. Bhoothnath has tied up with leading online children games portal zapak.com.
