Move over Salman Khan! Amitabh Bachchan is fast becoming controversy's favourite child.
If it isn't some political party leader or a veteran film critic then it's the Khans or his old you-jibe-me-I-jibe-you-back mate, Shatrughan Sinha not sparing a single opportunity to pick at the angry icon of past many decades.
Big B is only too happy to respond with his volley of tongue-in-cheeks, thanks to his new blog
Here's a look at AB's detractors and what exactly is their problem.
Shah Rukh Khan
It's the same old story of one-upmanship. When Shah Rukh Khan took over Kaun Banega Crorepati after two successful seasons by Bachchan, a hint of friction was detected with King Khan's haughty remark about the generation difference and how he is 'hip and sexy.'
In his trademark self-deprecating tone, AB responded, 'SRK is absolutely right. He is young, I am old. He is hip and sexy, I am not.'
Recently, the Bhoothnath (which interestingly had Khan in a special appearance) hero put up a post on his new blog haring the hit statistics of KBC, while he was hosting it against SRK's new show, Kya Aap Paanchvi Paas Se Tez Hain's unflattering TRPs. That's revenge at its technical best.
Also, SRK doesn't get along too well with AB's best buddy and Samajwadi Party neta Amar Singh. That too is attributed as a reason for this constant tug-of-words.
