Amitabh Bachchan’s Joke On Coronavirus Makes Netizens Angry And Unhappy

Amitabh Bachchan is very much active on social media. Amid the lockdown, he keeps on posting inspiring videos and tweets urging people to stay indoors and follow the safety measures. Big B is witty and humorous but sometimes his sense of humour doesn’t go well with netizens.

He tried to entertain with a joke on coronavirus outbreak but netizens seemed to have not liked it. The actor wrote that a bat had broken into his residence Jalsa. He then joked that corona is not leaving him.

His tweet read, “T 3510 – Ladies and gentlemen of the Jury .. news of the hour .. BREAKING NEWS .. would you believe it ..
A Bat , a चमगादर has come into my room .. in Jalsa .. on the 3rd floor .. in my Den .. ??
badi mushkil se use bahar nikala ..
Corona peecha chodh hi nahin raha !!!”(sic)

One user wrote, “Not in good taste sir. You have millions of followers. Still we don’t have exact process of human virus spillover. Demonising bat is last thing we want. Things we know for sure; They are pollinators. They help in pest control. Please revisit it.”

Have a look at the tweets here.

Sorry to hear this from a reputed personality. Bats are not harmful and there is no need to fear. Kindly understand that they did not spread the virus to human.The reason is still debated. By nature, most animals have got virus in their body. Pls read this? pic.twitter.com/BxAdnI67bz

We understand that you have a bit of humour in your tweet. But not all your followers will be able to understand that. We keep hearing that people have started to vilify this animal& some stray incidents of violent acts have already been reported.We already have enough to deal ?

It’s quite shameful that a quiz show host is taking to social media to spread misinformation. Here’s a simplified comic starring you and a bat on #kaunbanegacrorepati to educate you. pic.twitter.com/ndFiSVh0e0
