Amitabh Bachchan’s Social Media Struggle Has Fans Rolling With Laughter

Amitabh Bachchan Struggles To Hit 50 Million Followers On X; Fans Suggest Selfies With Rekha, Posting Bloopers, And Going Unfiltered
Legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan took to X (formerly Twitter) to express one of his mirthful yet honest struggles: he just cannot seem to crack the 50 million mark. With anything and everything posted during this time–poetic musings, movie promotions, reflections on life, and personal anecdotes–Bachchan has been on social media constantly but somehow arrived at a standstill. On this honest note, he wrote, “Kuch upaaye batayiye” to ask for suggestions that might help him cross to the other tantalizing side.
He was, of course, not going to be let down by a dependable fanbase, and within hours, hilarious, witty, and cheeky advice flooded the comments section. Some fans came up with ideas about bringing behind-the-scenes reels, blooper videos from set to screen, or even some mini-reality series entitled Amitji Unfiltered! Others jokingly proposed to post couple content beside his wife, Jaya Bachchan, or a reunion selfie with his iconic co-star Rekha—something which sent back a wave of nostalgia and left netizens jumping.
“Post a selfie with Rekha, it’ll break the internet,” laughed one. Another added, “Start couple goals posts with Jaya ma’am. That’s trending these days.” One suggestion was, “Do a reel dancing to a trending song with Abhishek. Guaranteed followers!”

Meanwhile, many others offered suggestions about more serious matters in the socio-political setting of the country. “Honest takes on education and sanitation will get you double the followers,” wrote one. Another chimed in with advice like, “Just pick some fights on X, it always works!
With the fun chat going on, Bachchan’s connection with the audiences was strengthened further. At 81, the superstar is very much present today, not just in films or television, but also as an active social media star who connects effortlessly across the generations.
While he is waiting to tick that digital milestone, much beyond is happening in his professional life as well. Amitabh Bachchan is, after all, going to host the iconic quiz show Kaun Banega Crorepati. Just 24 days after the conclusion of Season 16 on March 11, the first promotion of KBC 17 has already been given to fans. For the viewers, the announcement puts the balls rolling again, as registration for the new season commenced this month. Certainly, year after year, Bachchan is still the biggest attraction on Indian television as the wise and witty quizmaster.
Whether or not he takes any of his fans’ hilarious prescriptions seriously, one thing is for certain: Amitabh Bachchan knows how to engage his audience. He goes beyond heartfelt tweets and takes self-deprecating humor to participatory levels, somewhat being a cultural icon now updating with the times, social media algorithms notwithstanding. Who knows, perhaps the magic number will come in sooner now, with the Internet rallying harder than ever to get him across 50 million!
