With the controversy over Amitabh Bachchan being the special guest at the opening of four new lanes of the Bandra Worli Sea Link yesterday coming to a head, the actor posted on the blog that he attended the event only because a minister had invited him.

"The Rajiv Gandhi Sagari Setu or the Bandra Worli Sea Link was opening up the remaining four tracks on this massive and symbolic structure that connects two regions of the suburb over the sea. I had been invited by the Minister in the Government to attend and so I went along," Big B posted on his blog.
