Amitabh Bachchan asks for urgent help from social media followers. 'I am trying hard, but...'

Legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan recently shared a light-hearted concern on X (formerly Twitter), where he revealed that despite his efforts, his follower count has remained stuck at 49 million. Known for his active presence on social media, Bachchan regularly posts personal updates, photos, and thoughts, and also maintains a personal blog.

In his post, the veteran actor said he had been trying hard to increase the number but nothing seemed to work. He wrote, "I am trying hard, but the number of 49M followers is not increasing. If there is a solution then tell me!!!"

T 5347 - बड़ी कोशिश कर रहे हैं, लेकिन ये 49M followers का नंबर बढ़ ही नहीं रहा है ।
कोई उपाय हो तो बताइए !!!

Fans Flood Comments With Creative and Funny Advice

Fans quickly responded with a mix of clever and amusing suggestions. Many of the replies stood out for their humor. Some users jokingly advised him to share a selfie with actress Rekha, while others suggested uploading a photo with his wife Jaya Bachchan. A few even mentioned that a friendly argument with Jaya in a video might go viral.

One fan humorously pointed out that Bachchan’s follower count was already more than twice the population of Australia and offered to “bring kangaroos as followers.” Another recommended that the actor should start replying to fans directly, joking that the follower count would not just reach 50 million but explode beyond billions if he did that.

Some users turned to tech-related suggestions, advising him to use Grok, an AI chatbot developed by Elon Musk’s company xAI, to figure out the secret to social media growth.

Suggestions Range from Honest Opinions to Gen Z Trends

Beyond the jokes, several users came up with practical ideas as well. A few said that making honest posts about real-world issues like healthcare, education, and public facilities could help him connect with a larger audience. Others advised him to share behind-the-scenes moments or bloopers from his work.

Younger fans encouraged him to connect with the Gen Z audience through podcasts or by releasing a blockbuster film that appeals to today’s viewers. Some even suggested launching a series of unfiltered, raw updates to show more of his real personality online.

Amitabh Bachchan recently shared photos of his visit to religious places like Siddhivinayak and Babulnath temples, expressing gratitude for receiving blessings. These personal posts, along with his regular updates, continue to keep followers interested in his life both on and off screen.
