Amitabh Bachchan’s Dig At Shobhaa De While Congratulating PV Sindhu Is GOLD!

We Indians couldn’t have asked for a better gift this Raksha Bandhan. Yesterday, PV Sindhu became the first Indian woman athlete assured of a silver medal at the Olympics and Twitter went crazy.

Well, it was not long back that famous journalist Shobhaa De tweeted about the incompetency of Indian athletes and inevitably twitter burnt her.

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) August 8, 2016

 

Well, it seems even Shobhaa De has realized that the tweet was a mistake and therefore it seems that she is trying to recover lost ground.

Stupendous Sindhu and Sakshi. Sisters in arms. Join the ranks of ‘Women who make History into Her-story’.

Silver minted by Sindhu. Chandi ke baad Sona!!!

PV SINDHU Silver Princess ?

Still, that hasn’t stopped even someone like Amitabh Bachchan taking a dig at her. Amitabh Bachchan’s tweet was a slap on her face and Big B being Big B, managed to do it with some class.

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

— Amitabh Bachchan (@SrBachchan) August 18, 2016

T 2352 – Never ever underestimate power of female gender ! #PVSindhu you have destroyed so many ‘naysayers’ .. you are the PRIDE of INDIA !

— Amitabh Bachchan (@SrBachchan) August 18, 2016

T 2352 – #PVSindhu …aapne ‘bolne walon’ ki bolti bund kar di .. karm bolta hai aur wo kabhi kabhi ‘kalam’ ko bhi hara deta hai ! BADHAI !!

— Amitabh Bachchan (@SrBachchan) August 18, 2016

Well, it seems her damage control is not really working and the twitter is not going to forgive her anytime soon.
