Amitabh Bachchan says he has faced age-related trolling on social media and that the experience changes how freely he posts. In comments reportedly made during an episode of Kaun Banega Crorepati 18, the actor describes how he once thought social media was a space to express his thoughts openly, but harsh responses made him reconsider.
Bachchan recalls reading comments on his posts and then stopping himself from writing “freely,” citing the language used by trolls as especially jarring. He also references an instance of a follower using an age-related slur at him, and he says he found himself questioning why people choose to write such remarks online.
Across the reports, the central theme is the actor’s shift from viewing social media as a platform for candid expression to becoming more cautious after receiving abusive, age-targeted criticism. One outlet also points to earlier remarks by Bachchan—where he discouraged giving trolls attention—suggesting he sometimes addresses the issue while also emphasizing not engaging with abuse.
