Amitabh Bachchan’s blank tweets spark curiosity among netizens, leaves internet guessing

Amitabh Bachchan

Amitabh Bachchan is one of the most active users on X. However, his recent activities on the social media platform has left users wondering what is he up to.

In recent weeks, Big B has shared almost 20 blank tweets, each featuring nothing but a sequential number and no explanation. The last time he posted something with actual content was on April 22, when he tweeted: “T 5355 - The silent X chromosome .. deciding the brain.”

Fans have been sharing screenshots of his account, asking others what is happening. A few people wondered if automated tweets or bots were to blame. While another user theorized that Amitabh Bachchan's goal might be to reach 50 million followers on platform X, suggesting that his recent string of numbered tweets was a strategy toward that aim. It was also noted that Amitabh had previously expressed concern over his stagnant follower count and had even sought suggestions from fans on how to increase it.

The explanation for the blank tweets seems to be fairly simple. Almost like a personal journal, Amitabh Bachchan has a long-standing practice of numbering each of his tweets.

He occasionally corrects the numbering by posting blank tweets when the sequence veers off course. It's a strange peculiarity, but it has a strangely charming quality.

Meanwhile, on the professional front, he was last seen in Kalki 2898 AD and Tamil debut film Vettaiyan alongside Rajnikanth.
