Amitabh Bachchan, the superstar who has ruled both the silver screen and hearts for decades, is also quite the social media star. With 49 million followers on X (formerly Twitter), he’s no stranger to the online game. But recently, the actor shared a hilarious little problem—his follower count hasn’t increased much. Instead of ignoring it, the megastar did what he does best—made it fun, turned it into a conversation, and added a dash of his signature wit.
The struggle to hit 50 MillionDespite having a mind-blowing 49 million followers, the ‘Sholay’ actor cheekily admitted that the number just wouldn’t budge. On April 14, he wrote in a tweet, “Kuch upaaye batayiye,” asking his followers to share tips on how he could finally crack the code and reach the 50 million mark. This sparked a storm of creative, funny and downright brilliant suggestions from fans.
Big B’s solutionThe man himself then took to his handle on Wednesday to share a post in classic Bachchan style. He tweeted in Hindi “T 5349 - Samajh mein aa gaya, number badhane ka nuska -Kam bolo, kam likho!!!”. Which simply means, “Got it, the trick to increase the numbers - Speak less, write less!!!”
Fans react with loveWhile some fans burst out laughing, others nodded along, sensing that this one-liner carried more than just humour—it was classic Big B philosophy. One user said, “Sir ek do Dialogue ho jaye aapki movie ka… pkka aapke 50M+.. guaranteed!!!”. Another pointed out, “Sir, last time I saw your followers were 49M 36009 and today it's 49M 36424.”
Fans were also quick to share their reactions, with one writing a deeply heartfelt response,“Sir, I loved reading this tweet of yours. There’s always a deep lesson hidden in your words, and this trick is very apt. However, as your fan, we all draw immense inspiration from your thoughts and experiences. If you share your views on the current state of the country, like inflation and unemployment, it would greatly help guide us. You’ve always been our beloved and a source of inspiration, and we’ll be waiting for your words. With utmost respect.”
