‘Rekha ji ke saath ek selfie’: When Amitabh Bachchan asked fans ‘Kuch upaaye batayiye’ to cross the 50M Mark on X

Amitabh Bachchan recently shared a humorous and relatable issue on X (formerly Twitter). Despite being one of the most active celebrities online—with a vibrant blog and regular tweets—he’s run into a social media snag.

In a light-hearted tweet, the iconic actor confessed that, try as he might, his follower count just won’t budge past 49 million. He playfully asked his fans for suggestions with a simple, “Kuch upaaye batayiye,” inviting them to help him figure out how to finally hit that 50 million mark.

Fans quickly jumped in with a wave of amusing and imaginative advice—ranging from posting reels and bloopers to sharing pictures with Jaya Bachchan, or even hosting a meet-and-greet session on X. Some jokingly suggested he go “Amitji Unfiltered" for an authentic peek into his life. Whether he follows through or not, one thing is certain: while the follower algorithm remains elusive, Big B continues to charm and engage his audience with ease.

One user joked in the replies, “Sir Jaya Ji ke Saath Ek baar Kalesh kar lijiye aur uska Video hume send kariye.”  Another said, “Comment on petrol prices once and see what happens.” Meanwhile, a third suggested,” Rekha ji ke saath ek selfie, bus fir dekho Baad me thank you bol dena. Koi ghamand nahi.”

He might not have figured out how to boost his follower count just yet, but one thing’s for sure — Amitabh Bachchan knows exactly how to keep his fans entertained.

In other news, “Kaun Banega Crorepati”, hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, is gearing up for its 17th season. Just 24 days after Season 16 concluded on March 11, a new promo has been released, featuring the legendary host himself.
