‘Thok do saale ko’: Big B erupts at troll

MUMBAI: Hitting out at an anonymous troll who had tweeted “I hope you die with this Covid” to Amitabh Bachchan, the actor late Monday wrote a

blog post

from his Covid ward in

Nanavati Hospital

in which he said his followers were “incensed” and though he had not asked them to take any action against the troll, if he (Bachchan) survived Covid-19, he would. “All I shall say to them,” he wrote, “is thok do saale ko”.


The 77-year-old actor and his son Abhishek have been in hospital since July 11 after they tested positive for the novel coronavirus. Referring to his “90+ million followers”, Bachchan said if he survived, “I shall (ask them to take action)… and let me tell you they are a force incensed.”

Big B calls troll ‘mahishasur’, ‘charitraheen’
Referring to his “90+ million followers”, Bachchan said, “they traverse the entire world from the west to the east from the north to the south.. and that extended family shall in the flash of an eye become ‘extermination family’.”

Addressing the troll, Bachchan wrote, “Hey Mr Anonymous.. you do not even write your father’s name.. because you do not know who fathered you.” He added, “There are only two things that could happen… either I shall die or either I shall live.. if I die you won’t get to write your diatribe anymore, by weathering your remark on a celebrity name... pity... for, the reason of your writing to be noticed was, because you took a swipe at Amitabh Bachchan.. that shall no longer exist!”

“May you burn in your own stew!” he wrote at the end of the blog after using Hindi adjectives such as “Mahishasur”, “charitraheen”, “besharam” and “behaya” and even “destined to suffer like rakshasas” to describe the troll.

Bachchan had on Sunday written about how isolation in a Covid ward takes a toll on mental health. Experts have spoken about the impact such isolation has on patients.
