Amitabh shared a black and white throwback picture on his Instagram feed where he is seen standing by a pool dressed in what appears to be a short robe of some sort. A hand can be seen tightening a belt around Amitabh's waist. Captioning the picture, the actor asked the fans, "Whose hand is it?"

Fans gave their wittiest responses to the superstar's questioning with one quipping, "Kanoon ka haath hai (It's the arm of the law). Many fans suggsted it was Amitabh's 'dharam patni' actor Jaya Bachchan's hand, while some joked it belonged to Dharmendra: "Dharam paaji ka haath hoga (It must be Dharmendra's hand).

Some fans rightly recognised that the hand actually belonged to late actor Sridevi, one among them was filmmaker Farah Khan. The still is from the sets of the 1984 movie Inquilab, which starred Amitabh and Sridevi in the lead roles. The full uncropped image shows Sridevi dressed in swimwear, holding Amitabh's belt.
