Two days after Bollywood star Abhishek Bachchan received a Bentley worth Rs 1.7 crore on his birthday, his father Amitabh today denied having gifted him the car.

Speaking to reporters while receiving a Rolls Royce Phantom from director Vidhu Vinod Chopra for his performance in "Eklavya", Bachchan said, "I have not gifted the Bentley to him." Asked about media reports on the matter, Bachchan said he did not know how the reports had come about.

He refused to say who had given the car to Abhishek.

On Monday, Abhishek received a white Bentley for his 31st birthday. He went for a drive in the car with his fiance Aishwarya Rai before going to his Juhu residence.
