Making the first move to put an end to the much-publicised strained relationship with Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan has said he wishes to apologise if there has been a lapse on his part.

“It is hurtful and unwanted and I wish to bring with all sincerity a final end to this much imagined ugliness,” Bachchan wrote on his blog.

“Despite numerous clarifications and denials from both Shah Rukh and myself through the electronic and the print medium there seems to be no letting up” Bachchan lamented.

Clarifying his earlier comments about television shows including the one hosted by Shah Rukh, Bachchan said he had never attempted to show SRK in poor light.

He also added that he would apologise to Shah Rukh hundred times if there was any iota of doubt in his mind about  his  conduct and behaviour. “I have never deliberately or with any false intent ever meant or said anything towards him.”
