Amitabh Bachchan on being trolled: 'I get many abusive comments, have to think a lot before posting anything'

Amitabh Bachchan recalled some funny incidents on the latest episode of KBC 14 and also revealed that he now thinks a lot before writing anything on social media.

Amitabh Bachchan said that he thinks a lot before writing anything on social media, because of all the trolling and abuses that often come his way. The actor was speaking on his popular quiz game show Kaun Banega Crorepati (KBC). ()

When Mumbai's Samit Sharma takes the KBC 14 hotseat, Amitabh shared how he started using social media and talked about getting trolled. “I was told about blogging and started writing blogs. I don’t understand these things at all. Often, I post a pic or write something and fir badi gaali padti hai (I get many abusive comments). They give gaalis (abuses). I didn’t know that people also comment on pictures that you post. They write, ‘Kya samajhta hai apne aap ko (who do you think you are)’ and many other things that I can’t say. One needs to think a lot before writing. I have to think a lot before posting anything.”

Amitabh recalled a funny incident on the show as well. “It was a huge meal - a political level one, where prime ministers were in attendance. The prime minister of Japan was visiting India and after the meal the finger bowl came, with rose petals. The guest thought it was a dish and he drank it. To avoid any embarrassment to the guest, our PM also drank it.”

Amitabh also shared his experience of working in ads. “No matter how big an actor you are and no matter how well you do, you give your take and the entire floor stays silent. The people from the ad agency stay quiet for some minutes and no one utters a word. No one even says a single thing about the take or acting, there is no okay till the ad agency okays the shot. After 15-20 minutes they will notice the position of a leaf in the background is not up to mark. I have spent 50 years in the industry, they are bothered about that leaf."
