Bollywood superstar AMITABH BACHCHAN has surrendered his farmland following accusations he acquired plots by falsely declaring himself a farmer.
The 64-year-old actor owned land in the states of Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh, which his wife, Jaya, represents in parliament.
But the star came under fire for using his political contacts to be designated as a farmer after a court in Uttar Pradesh ruled that a 1983 certificate identifying Bachchan as a farmer was forged.
Bachchan has agreed to surrender the land and has given it to local farmers.
