Amitabh Bachchan, the legendary Indian actor, has left his millions of followers distressed and searching for answers after a sudden and unusual change in his Twitter activity. Since April 22, the same day as the tragic Pahalgam terror attack, Amitabh Bachchan has abandoned his familiar style of engaging tweets for an unsettling series of blank posts, each marked only by his signature “T-” numbering. The mysterious silence across his timeline is agitating fans and observers, raising urgent questions about his intent and emotional state.
This abrupt shift began immediately after the deadly incident in Pahalgam, and his last meaningful tweet,
“T 5355 – The silent X chromosome .. deciding the brain .. (sic),”
remains starkly at odds with the empty messages that followed. For twenty consecutive days, Amitabh Bachchan has posted nothing but these cryptic, contentless tweets, prompting widespread speculation about his motives and stirring a wave of unease online.
Amid growing concern, users on Reddit began circulating theories about the distinguished actor’s actions. Many people speculated that Amitabh Bachchan’s blank tweets serve as a silent protest and a signal of mourning for the lives lost in the Pahalgam terror attack. One user asserted,
“Okay look at the date of his last tweet.. 22nd! The day of Pahalgam attack. He’s keeping his silence. Someone from the industry mentioned that he’s taken the oath kinda thing to only tweet when we avenge the death of our innocent. The day there is victory, he’ll tweet. Let him do what he’s feeling please. Stop spamming this sub with the same thing now that you guys know. (sic)”
Another echoed the emotional impact, stating,
“He’s mourning the Pahalgam attack, expressing silence for the lives that are lost. (sic)”
Further, another comment pointed directly to his protest,
“He is protesting in his own way for pahalgam. (sic)”
The grim mood on Twitter reflects a shared sense of distress, as Amitabh Bachchan’s silence becomes a potent, if agonizing, symbol of grief and protest. With 49 million followers anxiously awaiting his return to normalcy, many wonder if this unsettling quiet might extend until there is some form of justice or hope for the victims. The emotional intensity of Amitabh Bachchan’s response highlights the profound impact tragic events such as the Pahalgam attack can have, not just on the public but also on cultural icons, who often use their platforms to express sorrow and solidarity. For now, fans remain tense, left in anxious anticipation of Amitabh Bachchan’s next move and hoping for closure in the wake of tragedy.
