Overview
- Bachchan, speaking on Kaun Banega Crorepati on Monday, said he stopped writing as much after reading harsh comments such as "What does he think of himself, this old man".
- The remark came during a contestant's question about handling social‑media criticism and drew laughs when he added that his follower count kept rising even as he posted less.
- Coverage notes Bachchan began a personal blog in 2008 and has long used digital platforms, so his change in posting marks a notable shift for a high‑profile public figure.
- Footage from his 84th birthday on October 11 shows young fans trying to breach security while bodyguards intervened and the actor politely declined a fan's handshake in one clip.
- The exchange highlights how online abuse can prompt self‑censorship by celebrities, affect how they engage with fans, and raise questions about crowd management at public appearances.
