Why was Amitabh Bachchan a part of Hillary's mail?
- Hillary Clinton had once asked her close aide about Indian megastar Amitabh Bachchan
- A leaked email of Hilary has surfaced where she questions her close aide about the "famous older Indian actor"
Jose A DelReal, national political reporter with The Washington Post, posted a picture on Twitter of a leaked Clinton email in which the former US secretary of state had asked her Pakistani-origin aide Huma Abedin about Bachchan.
Â
The July 2011 email had been sent by Clinton to Abedin in which she asked "What's the name of the famous older Indian actor we met a few years ago?". To the question, Abedin replied "Amitabh bachan (sic)."Â
Â
The leaked email does not give further details as to why and in what context was Clinton asking about Bachchan, 74.
Â
The cache of leaked emails have been a headache for Clinton and just as the elections entered their last crucial lap, FBI Director James Comey sent a letter to Congress about a renewed inquiry concerning her emails.
Â
Abedin is currently in the middle of a political storm after FBI started reviewing some 650,000 emails found on a laptop belonging to her estranged husband, former Congressman Anthony Weiner, that may be related to the investigation into Clinton's use of a private email server while she was secretary of state during President Barack Obama's first term.
