The Big B tweets- #PVSindhu .. aap “khaali haath” nahein, medal leke wapas aa rahein hain .. aur hum aapke saath ‘selfie’ nikalne chahate hain !!
Indians erupted like a volcano last evening as badminton star P V Sindhu powered through to the women’s singles final at the Rio Olympics.
With everyone back home glued to the TV, Sindhu beat Japan’s Nozomi Okuhara in a nail-biting semi-final, earning herself an assured silver medal and a potential gold.Amitabh the legend was at his best against Shobhaa De who almost booed the sports persons from India who went to RIO.
The proud moment for India was reflected on Twitter which erupted in joy, celebrating the 21-year-old shuttler’s triumph. Among those tweeting was actor Amitabh Bachchan, among whose posts was this cleverly-worded tweet.
It’s not hard to join the dots and read the above post as a pointed dig at columnist Shobhaa De’s tweet some days ago which called down upon her the wholesale wrath of social media in particular and the country in general.
Please read that Big B’s tweet contains the words ‘selfie’ and ‘khaali haath‘ – used in Ms De’s tweet that upset so many. She meant that the players or sport persons dont win and just come back with selifes.
