Amitabh Bachchan Claps Back at Trolls Over Cybercrime Awareness Tune

Amitabh Bachchan Responds to Online Criticism
Amitabh Bachchan has addressed the backlash he received for lending his voice to a government initiative aimed at raising awareness about cybercrime. Many social media users expressed their discontent regarding the legendary actor's participation, but his witty and composed responses have gained significant attention online.
The situation escalated when Amitabh shared a tweet in Hindi, stating, 'T 5419 – जी हाँ हिज़ूर, मैं भी एक प्रशंसक हूँ तो!!! ???' A user replied, 'Toh phone pe bolna band kro bhay,' to which Amitabh humorously responded, 'सरकार को बोलो भई, उन्होंने जो कहा हमने कर दिया।' (Tell the government, I just did what they asked me to do.)
सरकार को बोलो भई, उन्होंने हमसे कहा सो किया

Another critic labeled him as 'बुड्ढा सठिया गया' (The old man has lost it), prompting Amitabh to reply, 'एक दिन, भगवान न करे वो जल्दी आय, आप भी सठिया जाएँगे। परंतु हमारे यहाँ एक कहावत है - जो साठा, वो पाठा' (One day, God forbid it comes early, you too will become senile. But we have a saying here – Jo Saatha, Wo Patha).
एक दिन, भगवान न करे वो जल्दी आय, आप भी सठिया जाएँगे।

In another instance, a user remarked, 'अरे आप तो बुरा मान गए महाराज। अब तो लोग आपके आवाज सुनना पसंद नहीं कर रहे हैं कॉल से परेशान है आवाज से।' (Hey, you got offended, Maharaj. Now people don’t like to listen to your voice, they are disturbed by your calls and voice). Amitabh's succinct reply was, 'Sarkaar se kaho.'
sarkaar se kaho

Perhaps the most pointed comeback came when a user said, 'Solid ganja fukte ho sir.' Amitabh shot back, 'एक गंजा फूंके हुए ही ऐसे लिख सकता है जैसे आपने लिखा है' (Only someone high on weed could write what you just did).
