Amitabh Bachchan may be a mega superstar, but he’s your typical technologically challenged grandfather at heart. Oh come on, if you have grandparents at home, you will be able to relate to this. They’re completely clueless with their phones. And any minor glitch is enough to make them panicky and anxious.
Amitabh Bachchan who owns a Samsung Galaxy S9 is one such example. Recently, his phone stopped working due to some reason. In a moment of panic, he posted on Twitter asking for his fans’ help.
T 3024 – HELP !! Samsung S9 not functioning .. Samsung logo is on front screen, and is blinking again and again .. nothing else happens .. changed it .. let it be .. tried to close it does not close either ..
HELP … someone please guide me as to what I should de ..— Amitabh Bachchan (@SrBachchan) December 12, 2018
Of course Twitter had some hilarious responses to this. Check them out:

Amitabh is the brand ambassador for OnePlus, and of course, that invited trolls:

We’d probably do the same if we were in his position:

In fact, Xiaomi had a smart offer for him:
Dear Amit Ji.
It's time to switch phones. You can maybe try the most loved technology brand in India ❤️😇
Happy to send a flagship phone to you, if you want.#BigFan @SrBachchan https://t.co/O5DlcdxY3K

Do you have something you’d like to tell Mr. Bachchan?
