Amitabh Bachchan promised to build a college in Bahu's name

In 2008, Amitabh Bachchan visited Daulatpur village of Barabanki in Uttar Pradesh and laid the foundation stone of a Degree College in the name of his bahu, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Amitabh Bachchan was accompanied by Abhishek Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan and Aishwarya. Samajwadi Party leader, Amar Singh and Mulayam Singh Yadav were also part of the event then.

In 2012, the college was renamed Aishwarya Bachchan Girls' Inter College for higher secondary students. Amitabh Bachchan had given a cheque of Rs. 5 lakhs to ABSS for the construction of the building. If reports are to be believed then he had given the responsibility of building the college to the Nishtha Foundation, whose president is Jaya Bachchan. However, the Nishtha Foundation did not build the college. They blamed it on Amitabh Bachchan's Seva Sansthan. The villagers waited for the college to be constructed and later a village teacher's father donated more than 10,000 square meters of land for the college to be built. Amitabh Bachchan's foundation stopped the college work, and the people of Daulatpur collected funds for the same. They constructed a college very close to the plot where Amitabh Bachchan's college was supposed to get built. To date, Amitabh Bachchan's project is not built.
