Mumbai, June 24
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan is an avid social media user. With his posts on X (Formerly Twitter) and his blogs on Tumblr, the 'Agneepath' star tries his best to connect with his fans virtually on a regular basis.
He also does not hesitate to respond to trolls savagely. On Monday, one social media user criticised the cybercrime awareness caller tune featuring his voice.
That tweet did not go unnoticed as Big B gave a befitting reply.
The veteran actor shared a random post that read, "Ji haan huzoor, main bhi ek prashansak hoon. Toh?? (Yes, sir, I'm a fan too. So??)."
A netizen replied to the post and wrote, "Toh phone pe bolna band kro bhay (So stop saying it on the phone)."
Amitabh Bachchan responded, "Sarkar ko bolo bhai, unhone jo kaha humne kar diya (Tell the government, I did what they told me to do)."
Another user attacked Big B over his age,
"Buddha sathiya gaya (He has gone senile)." To this, the actor replied, "Ek din bhagwan na karein who jaldi aaye, ap bhi sathiya jaayenge. Parantu humarein yaha kahawat hai - jo satha, who patha (God forbid it comes soon - you will grow senile. But we have a saying here: 'The older, the wiser)."
Meanwhile, on the work front, Amitabh Bachchan was last seen with superstar Rajinikanth in 'Vettaiyan', which hit theatres last year. In the film, Big B also shared screen space with Fahadh Faasil and Rana Daggubati.
His future projects include the remake of The Intern with actor Deepika Padukone.

Big B always knows how to shut down trolls with class! His responses are legendary - mixing wisdom with wit. That "jo satha, who patha" reply was pure gold! 😂 More celebrities should learn from him how to handle negativity gracefully.
While I admire Amitabh ji's work, I do find the cybercrime caller tune a bit too frequent and loud. But his response was perfect - it's not his decision after all. Sarkar ne bola, toh karna pada! Maybe the government should consider making it less intrusive though.
The troll who called him "buddha" should be ashamed! Age-shaming is never okay, especially towards someone who's given us so many iconic films. Bachchan sahab's reply shows why he's the Shahenshah of Bollywood - always dignified!
Love how Amitabh ji uses traditional sayings in his replies! "Jo satha, who patha" is something my nani used to say too. These small things keep our culture alive. Can't wait for The Intern remake - DP and Big B will be fire together! 🔥
Honestly, the cybercrime awareness campaign is important in today's digital India. If Big B's voice makes even one person more cautious, it's worth the minor annoyance. Trolls should focus on real issues instead of complaining about safety messages!
