Among
the
celebrities
actively
sharing
news
and
tweeting
about
the
Novel
Coronavirus
pandemic,
is
Bollywood
megastar
Amitabh
Bachchan.
While
the
actor
has
been
successfully
creating
awareness
about
this
deadly
virus,
lately,
his
'controversial'
tweets
have
created
quite
a
stir
on
social
media.
On
late
Saturday
night,
Big
B
retweeted
a
picture,
which
claimed
to
be
a
satellite
photo
of
India
during
9
minutes
at
9pm
activity.
His
caption
for
the
retweet
read,
"The
World
sees
us
..
we
are
ONE
.."
(sic)
However,
netizens
quickly
pointed
out
the
image
to
be
'fake'.
As
per
a
News18
report,
it
was
a
photoshopped
image
of
Google's
visualisation
of
the
global
effects
of
the
#MeToo
movement
that
showed
all
of
India
brightly
lit
up
with
people
searching
for
information
about
the
movement.
As
soon
as
the
Brahmastra
actor's
tweet
went
viral,
netizens
trolled
him
for
sharing
"fake
WhatsApp
forward".
A
netizen
wrote,
"From
being
a
national
pride
to
becoming
a
national
embarrassment
-
the
slide
was
quick
and
brutal.
Just
retire,
dude
@SrBachchan"
(sic).
Another
comment
read,
"And
the
#KingOfFakeNews
is
back
appreciating
a
Whatsapp
forward.
Request
@TwitterIndia
to
suspend
him
and
save
us
the
daily
embarrassment
(sic)"
"Amitabh
Bachchan
is
real
IPS
of
WhatsApp
university
(sic)," tweeted
another
user.
One
of
the
users
wrote,
"You
need
to
quit
those
WhatsApp
groups
and
stop
following
some
handles
(sic)".
A
few
days
ago,
Amitabh
Bachchan
hit
the
news
for
the
wrong
reasons
after
he
said
that
homeopathy
may
cure
the
Novel
Coronavirus,
in
a
tweet.
The
superstar
posted,
"As
a
beneficiary
of
homoeopathy
I'm
encouraged
to
see
the
efforts
of
the
AYUSH
Ministry
to
counter
Corona.
I
pray
that
india
leads
the
World
in
finding
preventive
&
curative
solutions
for
such
epidemics.
(sic)"
However,
a
section
of
netizens
disagreed
with
his
thoughts
and
bashed
him
on
social
media.
