Amitabh Bachchan’s follower woes
Amitabh cracked a smile on Monday with a lighthearted post on X, formerly known as Twitter, revealing his static follower count despite being super active online. He turned the tables, asking his fans for tips to boost his numbers.
“Badi koshish kar rahe hain, lekin yeh 40 million followers ka number badh hi nahi raha hai. Koi upaya ho toh bataiye (We’re trying hard, but the 49 million followers number just isn’t budging. Any solutions out there?),” Amitabh wrote.
Amitabh’s plea sparked a hilarious storm. Fans hit him with a barrage of suggestions, from reels and bloopers to teaming up with Jaya Bachchan or hosting an X meet-and-greet.
“@grok please help him,” one tweet read, with another shared, “Show Sooryavansham live”.
“Follow me sir , I will definitely follow you back,” shared another fan. One social media shared, “Start following everyone back like John Cena, your following will increase automatically”. One tweet read, “Try couple postings… It gives good reach”.
Amitabh Bachchan followed up with another post, admitting that despite his best efforts, none of the fan-suggested tricks seemed to be working for him – still stuck.
“Dhanyawad unn sabka jinhone madad ke kai example bataye ki followers kaise bada sakte hain. Shama chahta hun, ek bhi kaam nahi aaya (Thanks to all those who helped with examples on how to increase followers. I’m sorry to say, but none of them worked),” he wrote.
