Megastar Amitabh Bachchan was caught on the wrong foot after he praised a synchronised dance performance by a group of women, which his fans pointed out was fake. After a video clip of the women dancing in tandem, claimed to be shot in China, appeared, Amitabh posted on Twitter: "wow .. even their locks of hair move in sync..."
His fans were quick to point out the folly. One wrote: "It's a fake video sir..well edited thats all..".
"I doubt...computer generated...old post.." remarked another.
"Was watching Agneepath yesterday... Yeh duniya bahot bighdeli hai Gaitonde Saheb.."
One user posted a meme of Bollywood diva Rekha looking dazed. Another meme was of a child in deep slumber.
"Editing hai ma'am... It's not sync or talent. It's just one girl. Tik Tok is full of such videos. Stop spreading false news".
In total, the comment garnered 931 retweets and 7.7K likes.
Megastar Amitabh Bachchan on Wednesday also expressed his gratitude to his fans for playing an integral role in his long and often tumultuous life and career after he was felicitated at the opening ceremony of the 50th International Film Festival of India (IFFI).
