New York: A leaked email of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton shows that she had once asked her close aide about Indian megastar Amitabh Bachchan.

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.

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)." The leaked email does not give further details as to why and in what context was Clinton asking about Bachchan, 74.

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.

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.

As always India and it's people trying to give the impression that they somehow have a say as to who wins the USA elections. Talk about being delusional, these people need serious help.

Lol is this really news worthy.. Indian news wagging its tail to the slightest attention by western masters.

First the cringey Trump ad now this.

 

[PakLFC]

Whoever wins they think his or her first order would be to bomb Pakistan! Secondly, open the gates for million's of Indian immigrants to freely enter America!! Nothing of the two is going to happen. Closest they will get in influencing the result of the elections is their fake American accents and wearing back to front baseball cap's. These people suffer from a massive American complex where Cinema is only good if it wins an Oscar! Hey "Priyanka Chopra is now a massive Hollywood star", yeah right!

Some Indians are still valiantly fighting for independence from the masters, it seems.

 

[marlonbrowndo]

Wonder if she's gonna get attacked by him on twitter now for not knowing who he is. Or by his his millions of Indian fans

 

[Saeed]

At least she knows a thing or two about India. Trump thinks India is Hindu nation. Organizers of event didn't even bother to correct him.

 

[Dios]

How is this news?

 

[troodon]

There are even more sillier news articles from Indian media outlets. Ever since 24/7 news channels came more than a decade ago, every stupid thing gets reported especially if it pertains to a celebrity. There are enough people to consume these kind of News too.

Also the point is, Hillary is under FBI radar for the Email scandal which is huge in a super power country like USA. Having Bacchans name in those emails is just adding some Masala to make people think as if Amitabh Bachan hd something to do with the entire scandal. A click bait type of news.

Clearly the OP clicked on the news as he found interesting that Bacchan was mentioned in those emails and he clicked.

Nobody cares about bollywood except for brown people or people of brown descent.
