Bollywood’s living legend Amitabh Bachchan has stirred the pot once again, this time with a cryptic yet scathing blog post targeting the culture of “speculated untruths” in media write-ups. Known for keeping his family life fiercely private, Big B rarely addresses rumors. But when he does, the industry takes note.
In his latest post, the veteran actor questioned the ethics of those who pen articles with “selected question-marked information,” a tactic he says sows seeds of doubt while sidestepping accountability. While he didn’t name anyone directly, his sharp words have sparked speculation about whether this is a clapback at recent rumors surrounding the Bachchan family.
Big B Gets Philosophical but Doesn’t Hold Back
“Speculations are speculated untruths without verifications,” Bachchan wrote, diving deep into the media’s tendency to sensationalize. He didn’t stop there—he hinted at how writers cleverly use question marks to pass off baseless claims as legitimate concerns, fueling gossip for commercial gain.
The Sholay star even questioned whether such writers ever consider the emotional toll their content might have on its subjects. “Your conscience, if ever you have one, has been overridden?” he asked pointedly.
Is Big B Taking a Dig at the Rumor Mill?
While Amitabh didn’t directly reference any recent news, his timing raises eyebrows. The Bachchans have been in the spotlight recently, with whispers about their personal lives making rounds online. Could this blog post be a subtle but powerful clapback at the tabloids?
Fans Rally Behind the Shahenshah
As expected, Big B’s fans have come out in full support, praising him for calling out irresponsible journalism. “The Shahenshah has spoken, and he’s absolutely right,” one fan commented. Others took a dig at gossip columns, urging them to focus on facts rather than conjecture.
A Gentle Reminder or the Start of a Media Showdown?
Amitabh’s note ends on a philosophical yet stern tone, urging writers to reflect on their choices. But knowing Bollywood, this might just add fuel to the fire, with media outlets dissecting every word for hidden meanings.
As Big B calls out “questionable untruths,” the industry waits to see if this triggers a change—or just another round of speculation. Either way, one thing’s clear: when Amitabh speaks, everyone listens.
