Amitabh Bachchan's Hilarious Plea for More X Followers Has Netizens in Stitches

Amitabh Bachchan recently shared a funny and relatable problem on X (formerly Twitter). Known for being one of the most active stars online—often posting updates and keeping a long-running personal blog—he now seems to have faced a small digital issue. Recently, the superstar asked his fans on X how to increase his follower count, and fans have come up with some of the funniest suggestions.

In a casual tweet, Amitabh Bachchan revealed that no matter how hard he tries, his X follower count just won’t go over the 49 million mark. “Kuch upaaye batayiye" he asked, relying on the collective knowledge of his followers to help him figure out how to reach that hard-to-get 50M milestone.

Fans responded with a mix of clever, creative, and downright hilarious suggestions. Ideas ranged from sharing behind-the-scenes bloopers and short videos to uploading casual photos with Jaya Bachchan or even hosting a virtual meet-and-greet on X. One of the fans wrote,"Hahaha Amitji being so real," second one wrote,"Can’t wait for him to hit 50M."

Amitabh Bachchan may not have cracked the code to the follower algorithm, but he's certainly mastered the art of keeping his audience engaged.  Even at 81, Bachchan remains a social media powerhouse. His X feed is a vibrant mix of daily updates, nostalgic memories, poetry, behind-the-scenes moments, personal reflections, and heartfelt interactions with fans. With 49 million followers, he continues to be one of the most-followed Indian celebrities on the platform.

His recent post asking for suggestions on how to increase his follower count sparked a wave of creative and humorous responses from fans.  While he may not follow through on all of their ideas, his ability to connect with his audience is undeniable.

Meanwhile, Kaun Banega Crorepati, hosted by Amitabh Bachchan, is set to return for its 17th season. Just 24 days after Season 16 ended on March 11, the show's creators have released an exciting new promo featuring the iconic host himself.
