Amitabh Bachchan takes a clever dig at Shobhaa De on Twitter

Author Shobhaa De recently invited trolls and criticism after her mean remark about the Indian athletes participating in Rio Olympics 2016. Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan, today, took to Twitter to congratulate Badminton player PV Sindhu who has already secured a Silver medal and will be aiming for Gold. But what he splendidly did was to shame Shobhaa De as well!

Here’s what De had tweeted:

Goal of Team India at the Olympics: Rio jao. Selfies lo. Khaali haat wapas aao. What a waste of money and opportunity.

— Shobhaa De (@DeShobhaa) 8 August 2016

Bachchan had a fitting reply to it.

T 2352 – #PVSindhu .. aap “khaali haath” nahein, medal leke wapas aa rahein hain .. aur hum aapke saath ‘selfie’ nikalne chahate hain !!

That must have been such a big ‘ouch’ for you, Ms. De!
