‘Buddha Sathiya Gaya Hai?’ Amitabh Bachchan Takes On Trolls with Sharp Comebacks
From being called ‘senile’ to accused of ‘smoking weed’, Big B delivers classy comebacks that win the internet
Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, known for his legendary screen presence, is now grabbing attention for something else — his razor-sharp wit on social media. The actor, who is quite active on X (formerly Twitter), recently shut down a string of trolls who targeted him over his cybercrime awareness caller tune and made personal jibes.
Bachchan, who has lent his iconic voice to a government-backed cybercrime awareness initiative, became the subject of online mockery after users complained about his voice playing as a pre-call warning message. But this time, Big B wasn’t in the mood to stay silent.
In a recent tweet, he shared, “Ji haan huzoor, main bhi ek prashansak hoon. Toh?? (Yes, sir, I’m a fan too. So??).” One user responded sarcastically, “Toh phone pe bolna band kro bhay (So stop saying it on the phone).” Bachchan clapped back coolly, “Sarkar ko bolo bhai, unhone jo kaha humne kar diya (Tell the government, I did what they told me to do).”
Another troll crossed the line by calling him “senile”. The veteran actor replied with grace and depth, “Ek din, Bhagwan naa kare voh din jaldi aaye, jab aap bhi sathiya jaaye (One day — God forbid it comes soon — you too will grow senile. But we have a saying here: ‘Jo satha, wo patha’ — The older, the wiser).”
The trolling didn’t stop there. One user went so far as to accuse the star of being high. Big B replied with a stinging retort, “Only someone high on weed could write the way you just did.”
When another user mocked him for having “too much attitude,” saying “even a calculator doesn’t show that much,” the star responded in kind: “Even your calculator is saying the same thing about you – overthinking!!!”
These witty responses are being applauded widely by fans, who are loving this side of the actor — dignified, sharp, and unapologetically himself.
On the Work Front
Amitabh Bachchan was last seen in Kalki 2898 AD, where he earned praise for his role as Ashwatthama. The film’s sequel is set to go on floors this December, with Bachchan reprising his role alongside Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Haasan. He also has Section 84, a courtroom drama co-starring Diana Penty and Nimrat Kaur, lined up for release.
