'Is Amitabh Bachchan Okay?' Decoding BigB's Puzzling Posts On 'X' That Have Raised Alarms
Last Updated:
Amitabh Bachchan has been 'tweeting' blank posts on 'X' and fans are worried, to say the least.
A quick glance at Amitabh Bachchan's 'X' profile will give you a rough idea that something's really up. The megastar of Bollywood who has cult-like following in the country thanks to his illustrious filmography that includes the likes of Deewar, Don, Agneepath, Kaala Patthar, Zanjeer, Satte Pe Saata, has gone really quiet on his favourite platform 'X'. He's still actively posting to his 49 million followers using his characteristic style that follows the sequential order 'T-" but the words are missing. This has prompted speculations among fans who routinely gather under his 'empty tweets" with words of concern.
So what exactly happened to our beloved BigB?
BigB's last post that carried any text barring the numbering 'T" had a vague message. He wrote, 'T 5355 – The silent X chromosome .. deciding the brain .." Incidentally, it came on the day the Pahalgam massacre took place. Terrorists linked to the Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) attacked a group of tourists in Baisaran valley in southern Kashmir's Pahalgam, gunning down 26 and injuring many others. Although the star's post came before the dastardly attack took place, the 82-year-old has decided to follow his own 'silent" treatment.

His timeline is pretty much this (attached above screenshot) since April 23 and the ardent fans have grown mighty worried.
Fans Raise Questions
'Everyone giving a backlash to him simply for trying to represent his real mental state on twitter not for show but to be with others a community. What I understand is, the events have left him devastated, pain beyond words, rage and reaction, left entirely shattered, (sic)" a fan, responding to one of BigB's post, wondered.

This is perhaps one of the rare responses to the veteran actor's post that has sided with him and supported him amid his silent break. The overarching responses to BigB's countless and textless posts over the past two weeks or so have made fans wonder how an influential figure with a voice as powerful as his hasn't raised his voice against the deadly attack that claimed the lives of so many innocents.
Time To Go
A couple months ago or so, Bachchan posted on 'X', a message, that simply read 'time to go". This sparked plenty of worry and speculations among his huge fan base. Was he going to retire? Is it the end of Kaun Banega Crorepati? Fortunately, someone sat in the audience during his quiz show brought it up directly to the actor and he responding by saying that it was time to go… to work. Very cheeky.

What Fans Miss
BigB isn't particularly known for solving quadratic equations or talking astrophysics online. His online persona is an extension of a personal diary, a journal that he updates routinely. His posts are mostly about his stagnant follower count on social media and why 'X' doesn't listen to his complaints. The rest of it is him sharing thoughts with his own portraits.

Or wondering why younger actors in Bollywood do not respond to his birthday wishes.

Amitabh Bachchan charged just Rs 1 for this film, later it became blockbuster, earned Rs 90 crore, budget was Rs…, lead actors were…
In the glitzy world of Bollywood, fame and fortune always go hand in hand. Well, the prominent the star, the higher the paycheck is. Actors usually charge crores for a single film, but rarely do we get to see a star who chose relationships over remuneration. One such remarkable story is that of megastar Amitabh Bachchan for his 2000 superhit film Mohabbatein. Helmed by Aditya Chopra, the film starred Shah Rukh Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya in lead roles, alongside a supporting cast that includes Uday Chopra, Shamita Shetty, Jugal Hansraj, Kim Sharma, Jimmy Sheirgill, and Preeti Jhangiani. Mohabbatein was a huge success both critically as well as commercially. Surprisingly, what made the film more memorable was that Amitabh Bachchan charged just Rs 1 to portray the role of Narayan Shankar in the film. Yes, you heard that right. The times when stars negotiate for their salaries, Amitabh Bachchan asked for just Rs 1 . Well, there is a heartwarming story regarding why Big B charged just Rs 1 for Mohabbatein. When Yash Chopra and Amitabh Bachchan collaborated for cult-classic Silsila, he asked Big B how much money he wants. To this, Big B responded, 'I want more because I want to buy a house.' He then made sure to give Big B the desired amount and fulfilled his wish. However, for Mohabbatein, when Yash Chopra asked the same question to Big B about his fees, he said, 'You gave me what I asked for last time. This time I will take only Rs 1 for the film.' And he stood by it. Made on a staggering budget of Rs 19 crore , Mohabbatein earned Rs 90 crore and became one of the highest-grossers of the year. Although today, Amitabh Bachchan might be charging a lot for his roles, but for Mohabbatein charging just Rs 1 shows that he is not just a prolific actor but also a generous human being.
