New Delhi: Legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan lately found himself on the target of trolls after his old forgotten tweet about ‘Bra” recently went viral on Social media.
The seemingly funny tweet that was dropped by the veteran actor in the year 2010 didn’t trigger any considerable controversies back then. However, as time went by, netizens started questioning Amitabh over his inappropriate and not-so-funny joke and even went on schooling the Don actor saying that he should act his age.
Amitabh’s 13 year old ‘lingrie’ Joke
T26 -In the English language, why is ‘bra’ singular and ‘panties’ plural …

In his 13-year-old controversial tweet, Big-B made some remarks about women’s undergarments and jokingly questioned, “Why is ‘bra’ singular and ‘panties’ plural ?”
However, instead of receiving laughs and funny responses to his question from the netizens, Amitabh’s question attracted sheer criticism from the public who slammed the actor saying that such cheap jokes don’t suit an actor of his calibre.
Expressing his anger at Amitabh’s not-so-funny joke, one Twitter user wrote, “KBC LEVEL QUESTION !! What’s wrong with your insight ..this is not a WhatsApp group of your batchmates .. tweet ..crass..have some decency in public man !!
Another user said, “How can you ask such vulgar questions publically despite being such a reputed man?”
A third user tried to answer Amitabh’s question and told that Bra is a short form of Brassière which is not an English but a French word.

We grew up watching his movies, were in total awe, fought with friends who preferred Vinod Khanna over him… I regret & want to wipe out my memories. Shameless, Vulgar & spineless are just mild words to describe this old chap.
