‘Star of the Millennium’, Amitabh Bachchan turns 75 today. After entertaining us with his impressive baritone, his smoldering ‘angry young man’ gaze, his understated, yet powerful acting for over 5 decades – the superstar is as legendary as it gets.
In recent years, the actor has made his fondness for social media quite is apparent and his posts are a testimony to that. Much loved by his fans, he also responds to them every now and then. But he has a really quirky way of posting tweets.
No no, we aren’t talking about how he numbers his tweets but the easy-to-spot pattern in his posting. Here, take a look:
