Court says Indian film star 'no farmer'

Indian film legend Amitabh Bachchan was dealt a setback Friday when a court ruled he did not qualify as a farmer, a status that entitled him to buy a 20-acre farm.
A lawsuit alleged that Bachchan had used his political contacts in the state of Uttar Pradesh, which is wife represents in parliament, to get designated as a farmer and allow him to buy the land.
