Actor Amitabh Bachchan,
currently recuperating in a Mumbai hospital after testing positive for
COVID-19, tore into trolls on Tuesday with an acerbic ‘may you burn in your own
stew’ and a warning that an ‘extermination family’ of 90 million fans was ready
to strike.
Bachchan, 77, who has been
posting regularly on social media from the hospital bed, responding to a troll
who wrote ‘hope you die with this COVID’, hit back in his blog ‘Bol Bachchan’
with the following note:
” they write to tell me ..’ “I hope you die with this Covid ..” Hey Mr Anonymous .. you do not even write your
Father’s name ,.. because you do not know who Fathered you .. there are only
two things that can happen .. either I shall die or either I shall live .. if I
die you wont get to write your diatribe anymore, by weathering your remark on a
celebrity name .. pity .. for , the reason of your writing to be noticed was,
because you took a swipe at Amitabh Bachchan .. that shall no longer exist ..
!! ..
if by God’s grace I live and survive you
shall have to be ‘weathering’ the ‘swipe’ storm, not just from me, but on a
very conservative level, from 90+ million followers .. I have yet to tell them
to .. but if I survive I shall .. and let me tell you they are a force incensed
.. they traverse the entire World .. from the West to the East from the North
to the South .. and they are not just the Ef of this page .. that extended
family shall in the flash of an eye become extermination family’ .. !!!!
…May you burn in your own stew !!
Amitabh Bachchan and son Abhishek are in
Mumbai’s Nanavati hospital since July 11 while Aishwarya Rai and daughter
Aaradhya, who had also tested positive, were discharged on Monday (July 27).
Amitabh Bachchan, a veteran
of close to 200 movies, is known to respond sharply to trolls. In April this
year, a comment that read, “Aishwarya Kahan Hai Re Buddhe (Where is Aishwarya,
oldie),” saw a curt response from the actor who wrote, “Woh wahan hai jahan aap
kabhi nahi pohchenge. (She is at a place you will never reach).”
In Tuesday’s blog, Bachchan also wrote about
his granddaughter and what she told him before leaving for home. “They go home
the little one and Bahurani .. and the tears flow out .. the little one
embraces and tells me not to cry ..’you’ll be home soon’ she assures .. I must
believe her.”
The actor, who was last seen in ‘Gulabo
Sitabo’, has been writing regular updates on social media from the hospital on
topics ranging from poetry to fans, from his poet father Harivansh Rai Bachchan
to medical workers and caregivers.
