Bacchan Senior on his way back to India after his world tour, posted his blog on Tuesday morning saying. "The casual off the cuff remarks made by her at the music launch function were without malice or deliberate intent, but if it has caused hurt to the sentiments of Maharashtra, Maharashtrians and indeed the city and citizens of Mumbai then she must seek regret and offer apology."
But he also went onto say that, “Jaya's remark does not in any manner sound anti Marathi there is no denigration. But words have a funny way of being mutilated to suit a particular copy or expression, in its interpretation. At best they were more pro official/national.”
