Big B cracks lockdown joke amid COVID-19 outbreak

New Delhi : Veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan is trying to keep it light for those who aren’t taking the lockdown positively, by sharing a lockdown-related joke on his social media.

The 77-year-old actor on Saturday took to Twitter and quipped saying, “Achcha, aur ek aur baat tay hai, in dino … jab phone aaye toh yeh bhi nahi kaha ja sakta ki ‘Saheb ghar mein nahi hai” (Okay, one more thing is sure, these days… When there is a phone call, it cannot be said that ‘Saheb is not at home’ !!! ) Accompanying the post was a winking face with tongue emoji

T 3405 – …. अच्छा , एक और बात तय है , इन दिनों … जब फ़ोन आए , तो ये भी नहीं कहा जा सकता की ‘ साहेब घर में नहीं है ‘ !!!? pic.twitter.com/NisaBoIO6p

The thespian also shared two pictures, the first being an Animoji was seen blinking while the second picture featured a throwback picture of the star from his younger days. He is seen sporting a white kurta in the picture while he looks into the camera.

The ‘Agneepath’ actor who has been practising self-isolation with his family amid the lockdown is associated with many public service announcements and has been spreading information about COVID-19 ever since India started its fight against the highly contagious virus. Amitabh Bachchan will next be seen along with Ayushmann Khurrana in Shoojit Sircar’s Gulabo Sitabo. (ANI)
