Amitabh Bachchan's 'Besan' tweet leaves social media guessing

Amitabh Bachchan's recent social media activity has sparked widespread confusion online. The 83-year-old star numbers every tweet using his signature format. He often posts cryptic thoughts late at night, unexpectedly.

Earlier this month, Bachchan published an emotional blog post detailing hospitalisation. He described physical and psychological trauma from surgery and the ICU. Fans immediately panicked, fearing a serious medical emergency had occurred.

A day later, Bachchan clarified his words were purely metaphorical. He was actually referencing Lionel Messi and Argentina's World Cup final defeat. He compared championship heartbreak to recovering from physical surgery.

Before that, Bachchan faced backlash over comments on France's World Cup 2026 squad. He noted that 10 of the 11 players were Black. His post controversially referred to that as "the POWER of BLACK".

On 23 July, amid student protests, Amitabh Bachchan wrote, "Sar/iur ki kheti sookh gayi hai." The meaning depends on whether it's sar (Brain) or sir. The rest means, "The garden has dried up." Some users connected the post with CJP demonstrations at Jantar Mantar.

On 17 July, he wrote, "Kal se sochna bandh (No thinking from tomorrow)." Before that, he wrote, "Khel khatm, paisa hazm (done and dusted)."

Critics accused him of reducing athletes to their skin colour. He later posted a reflective note about accountability and learning.

In recent months, Bachchan has posted many single-word cryptic tweets. Netizens continue to debate whether his account was hacked or malfunctioned.

In February, he merely exclaimed, CHUUUUUPPPP (Shut upppp)!!!!" After a couple of days, he wrote, "Shut up, I told you!"

Amitabh Bachchan's midnight soliloquy continues to intrigue people.
