    Amitabh Bachchan reveals why he reduced his social media activity after facing trolling

    Even the legendary Amitabh Bachchan is not immune to the harsh realities of the internet. In a candid moment on the latest episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati, the superstar opened up to contestant Vinamra about the impact of online trolling. When asked how he handles negativity, the veteran actor admitted that the vitriol he encountered online forced him to rethink his presence on social media platforms.

    Bachchan shared that he initially viewed social media as a wonderful tool to connect with his fans and express his inner thoughts. However, the experience turned sour when he began reading the comment sections. Recalling the hurtful language directed at him, Big B revealed that users would often target his age, calling him names like “budhau” and questioning his behavior. These derogatory remarks left him feeling uncomfortable, leading him to significantly cut back on his posts. “Pehle humne socha ki yeh bahut accha yantra hai… Uske baad jab humne padhna shuru kiya ki iska comment kya hai, humne aise likhna band kar diya. ‘Apne aap ko kya samajhta hai re tu budhau… Aise kyun bol raha hai?’ Toh aise-aise shabdawali hoti hai, bada ajeeb lagta hai,” he shared.

    Despite the negativity, the actor managed to keep his spirits high and ended the conversation on a humorous note. He pointed out the irony that his follower count has actually continued to climb even as he has become more selective with his posts. “Aur bhaisahab ek baat batayein aapko? Jab se kam likhna kar diya hai, humara follower badhta chala ja raha hai,” he quipped, drawing laughter from the audience. Bachchan, who has been documenting his life through his personal blog since 2008, continues to be a regular face on television as KBC airs from Monday to Friday at 9 pm on Sony Entertainment Television.
