Amitabh Bachchan and Anil Ambani's friendship

For those unversed, Big B and Anil Ambani have had a longstanding friendship, and have often stepped up to help each other in times of distress. In June, Big B gave a shoutout to Ambani after Reliance Power and Reliance Infrastructure showed signs of recovery.

"There can be no barriers for perseverance and hard work (sic)," Big B had written in an Instagram post hailing Ambani.

It is to be noted that reportedly, it was Anil Ambani who had supported Big B during the 90s when he had gone bankrupt after the failure of his production company, ABCorp Ltd. Not just that, but Ambani's wife, former actress Tina Ambani, is also quite close to Big B, and worked with him in the 1983 film, Pukar.

Not just that, but reportedly the Bachchan family also used Anil Ambani's private jet for an emergency situation involving Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Anil Ambani ED raids

For those unversed, the ED recently conducted raids on companies and entities linked to Anil Ambani's Reliance Group in connection with a money laundering probe tied to a Rs 3,000 crore loan fraud involving Yes Bank.

The raids were launched on July 24, and so far, almost 35 locations have been raided in connection to the probe.

Meanwhile, Reliance Power and Reliance Infrastructure, on Thursday, informed the stock exchanges that while they acknowledge the action, the raids had "absolutely no impact" on their business operations, financial performance, shareholders, employees, or any other stakeholders.
