We all have that one older uncle in our family. The one who without fail sends a good morning forward message every single day. The very same one who wishes us on every festival, anniversary, birthday and what not. And God forbid if you don’t respond to these. Before you know it, your notifications will be overflowing with his messages on every social media platform he can find you.
And you know how they say celebrities are just like us? Well, in this case, they are.
Anushka Sharma celebrated her 30th birthday yesterday and it was all kinds of special with hubby Virat Kohli.
Anushka even gave herself the best gift ever (read: Anushka vows to build an animal shelter).
While the power couple were busy with these couple goals activities, the indisputable father figure of Bollywood, Amitabh Bachchan was trying to get a hold of the actress.
When he did not receive any response from Anushka, Big B embodied the true spirit of every Indian uncle ever with this one tweet:
@AnushkaSharma .. Anushka .. this is Amitabh Bachchan @Srbachchan .. wished you on May 1st via sms .. no response .. checked they said you changed number .. sent greetings again .. love and wishes .. you looked radiant at the IPL game last night 🌹🌹🌹🙏

Uh-oh, Anushka is in trouble! Or at least, I would’ve been if I were in her place in this scenario.
The Pari actress, however, is the perfect daughter of the family and quickly responded with this tweet:
Thank you so much Sir, for remembering my birthday and sending your kind wishes! (Responding to your sms as I tweet this) 😊😊 https://t.co/dr01PUswIf

Good save Anushka. I’m going to take notes. God knows I need them.
Desi Twitter loved the exchange and could not help but crack a few jokes.

That lame uncle who sends you a friend request on FB and then asks you at an event “Why haven’t you accepted my request?” 🤦♂️

Let this be a reminder peeps, respond to those unrelenting messages from that uncle of yours will you? Well, it’s not like you have a choice to escape it anyways. If you don’t, they will look for you. They will find you and they will wish you!
