Legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan has trolled columnist Shobhaa De on Twitter. Bachchan’s tweet comes after De criticised Indian Athletes for visiting the Olympics only for clicking ‘selfies’.
“Goal of Team India at the Olympics: Rio jao. Selfies lo. Khaali haat wapas aao. What a waste of money and opportunity” Shobhaa had tweeted, which lead to a uproar on Twitter with people, including celebrities, uniting to condemn her tweet.
After India’s Sakshi Malik won a Bronze medal and Pusarla Venkata Sindhu ensured a silver medal (and possibly a Gold if she wins the Women’s Single’s final), Bachchan posted the following tweet:
T 2352 – #PVSindhu …aapne 'bolne walon' ki bolti bund kar di .. karm bolta hai aur wo kabhi kabhi 'kalam' ko bhi hara deta hai ! BADHAI !!

Earlier in the day, former cricketer Virendra Sehwag had also slammed Shobhaa in a way that only he can:
#SakshiMalik ke gale me medal kitna "Sobha De" raha hai na !!! #HappyRakshaBandhan pic.twitter.com/5qnN0tbD4y

Shobha De is a jobless troll. She has this old habit of saying something nasty and erupting a controversy out of no where.
Not sure why she is even given that much of a footage? What are her credentials other than rash tweeting and bullying people?
don’t need legends like Amitabh Bachhan to get into this, but people like Shobha De must also be shown their ‘aukaath’
veeru as is best wahhh .
Hahaha.. Bass maza aagaya. Btw congrats both.. Proud moment..
But i guess she is getting what she wanted.. Rply from legend amitabh and viru as well yes big troll but publicity k liye kuch bhi karega.
Both Sakshi and Sindhu have made India proud. Congrats to all.
Shobhaa De deserves these trolls. Even if these Indian athletes had returned “khali haat” after trying their best, still it was in bad taste to ridicule these athletes in such manner who are representing India.
Indicine : If you are not sure about any news then do not post it unless you verify with your sources. But please after posting dont remove the article. Disappointed !!!!!!!!!
@Hrithik, do understand that we have a tough job here. If we take time to verify, people complain that we are too late. If we post immediately, there can be mistakes. Apologies, it won’t happen again. Thank you for visiting.
Some of Indian mediapersons seem to have no work .Olympics are not meant for winning alone .What is important is also participating ? I will now add sobha de ,arnaab goswami to firstpost for repeatedly satirising Salman and filmfare in the must avoid lists .
sehwag trolls bowlers while playing ,he trolls shohab akhtar while commentry & now he is also trolling people on twitter
viru paji ,u roxxx
She deserves the trollings because she herself is a troll.
I hate pseudo intellectuals like her.
