Once Again, Big B In A Twitter Tangle

Highlights

  • Easily among the most erudite actors in Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan is sometimes challenged by the enormity of the 140 characters he posts on Twitter.
  • Just last month, a casual tweet from him on superstar and friend of over two decades, Rajinikanth, had the latter’s fans fuming.
  • Read about Big B’s Rajini tweet here.
  • Now, Amitabh’s Bachchan’s own fans are ticking him off, for ‘promoting’ Jr. Bachchan on Twitter. Post mid-night on Thursday, Sr. Bachchan posted several pics of Abhishek Bachchan during the promos of his latest film, Dum Maaro Dum.
  • After DMD’s average show at the box-office, many of Sr. Bachchan’s followers on Twitter felt the Big B was unnecessarily promoting his son.
  • The Big B tweeted his point of view –“ this is not promotion .. this is a Father admiring his son ..and if you have one would you not do it too ..?” And then – “because he is my child !!” in reply to more tweets from irked followers.
  • Sr. Bachchan also acknowledged a tweet from Rana Daggubati in the same session. @RanaDaggubati “hey Rana ... lovely to hear from you.” Remember, many felt Rana stole Jr. Bachchan’s thunder in DMD, right from the promo stages.
