'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.

Meet Vinod Mehra's daughter, whose debut film was super flop, got no lead role in 7 years, quit Bollywood after..., now lives in Dubai, her name is...
Meet Vinod Mehra's daughter, whose debut film was super flop, got no lead role in 7 years, quit Bollywood after..., now lives in Dubai, her name is... Late superstar Vinod Mehra's daughter, Soniya Mehra, caught significant attention with her brief appearances in movies like Ek Mai Ek Tu and Ragini MMS 2 . She made her debut in 2007 with Victoria No.203, and also appeared in TV series Shadow. Soon after her last appearance in Ragini MMS 2, Soniya vanished from the limelight and moved to Dubai, now working as Yoga instructor. Recently, in an interview, the actress talked about the break in her acting career and revealed unknown aspects of her personal life. While speaking to Friday magazine, Mehra shared, 'Most people who want to be a part of the film industry are dreamers and artists who have big dreams and ambitions. I had those same desires too, and I tried my hand at it. I'm so grateful to have experienced the industry and am happy to have landed a few projects.' When asked about her biggest learnings as a Bollywood actress, she said, '[I think it's important] to always give your best in everything you do. Even if you don't succeed at least you tried.' Talking about her career as a yoga instructor, Sonia said, 'It was my maternal aunt and my mother who got me interested in yoga, something that has remained with me all my life. It is more of a lifestyle now; it is something I am rather than something I 'do'. I learn more about it every day.' Recently, while speaking to E-Times, Sonia hushed the rumours of her break from Bollywood and stated that she is still very keen to work as an actress. She said, ' I gave it my best but unfortunately I didn't get offers which resonated with me. It's very important to get roles that you get excited about. So yeah, I am very much open to working in films of any language. In fact, I have also been in touch with many good filmmakers in India. It's just that I am not possessed that I must invariably get a lot of work and I should grab it for just the heck of being in the rate race. I want to be satisfied as an artiste rather than just as an actor.' During the same conversation, Soniya revealed that she's engaged with Kunal, a Mumbai-based broker. 'Nobody knows this and I am speaking about Kunal for the first time. We have been together for 7 years and even got engaged about a year and half back. I believe in the institution of marriage. It will be taking our relationship to another level. But personally I don't believe that two people who truly love each other need to necessarily marry. Marriage is a very small part of love. It is not necessary that a man and woman who have been married to each other for 7 years are in love more than Kunal and I who still haven't tied the nuptial knot.' Mehra said. While talking about leaving India and settling in Dubai, Sonia said, 'Well, it's not that I went out of India only recently. I had initially gone to London for some time. Then I got a very good job as a yoga instructor in Dubai, so I decided to park myself here. Yoga has been a very intrinsic part of me, ever since I used it at the age of 13 to cure myself from lower back pain. Slowly but surely I realised that I can use it further to make people's lives better. I mastered it and I am very passionate about it.'

This actor was most dangerous villain of Bollywood before Amrish Puri, married three times, he was…
This famous actor, once graced the screen as charming hero, winning hearts with his charisma and striking presence. But destiny had a different path carved for him, one that roared louder than the rest. Transitioning from the lead roles to the world of menacing antagonists, he redefined villainy in Indian cinema. With his signature baritone, fierce gaze, and commanding screen aura, he became synonymous with fear, earning the unforgettable title of 'The Lion.' His transformation wasn't just career-defining, it set a new benchmark for on-screen villains like Amrish Puri, Shakti Kapoor, Amjad Khan and Sadashiv Amrapurkar, who could be as iconic as the heroes they challenged. The Lion Of Bollywood Here we are talking about Bollywood's one of the most dreaded villains, Ajit Khan , who carved out a unique niche for himself in the film industry by rising above poverty and the various trials of life. He debuted in Bollywood as a hero from Shah-E-Misr , but it was through his portrayal of antagonists that he truly gained fame. Viewers appreciated his performances so greatly that his movies consistently achieved box office success. Before his film career, Hamid Ali Khan had abbreviated his name to 'Ajit' on the suggestion of film director Nana Bhai Bhat due to the length of his actual name. Ajit's Dream and Life-Changing Incident As per reports from media, Ajit Khan had dreamed of becoming an actor since he was a child. In pursuit of this aspiration, he left his home and traveled to Mumbai. Lacking financial resources, he even resorted to selling his books. With no place to stay in Mumbai, he began to sleep in large cement pipes. During that time, some thugs would extort money from those residing in those pipes. If residents failed to pay, they would be beaten and forced to leave. One day, Ajit became extremely frustrated and confronted the thugs. No thug could withstand Ajit's bravery, and they all fled. Following this incident, he earned great respect among the residents in that area. This chapter in Ajit Khan's life exemplifies his passion and bravery, which ultimately made him one of Bollywood's most iconic villains. The Personal Front And End Ajit was married three times. His first marriage to an Anglo-Indian Christian ended quickly due to cultural differences. He then married Shahida in an arranged match. The marriage was successful and they had three sons, Shahid, Zahid, and Abid . His third wife, Sarah , was introduced to him by actor Jayant, and they had two sons, Shehzad and Arbaaz . Ajit lived in Hyderabad in his last days and died on 22 October 1998 at the age of 76 after suffering from a massive heart attack.
