Mumbai Amitabh Bachchan was probably the first most sincere celebrity blogger in Bollywood who used the platform to connect with his fans and update them on his activities, thoughts and interact with them regularly. No wonder then that he had innumerable followers who would start their day with reading what the revered Big B had to say.

But apparently there was one errant follower who used the ability to comment on the blog to vent out his negativity. He would leave derogatory remarks that would cross the line of decency and were abusive. Big B mentions in his blog, "There is a serious effort by a member that writes and comments on this blog to use language and expression that is abusive, filthy and utterly disgusting." The unrelenting person would even send messages that were downright vulgar on Big B's phone and provoked the star to take corrective measures.

Amitabh Bachchan reported the matter to the authorities and now any attempt from this miscreant would come under legal cyber space action.

Big B forgot that he is just a normal actor during dearth of actors in industry by Sachin on 31 Aug 2010

I think this is right time and right age for Big-B who unfortunately started considering himself as a God. I am sorry Big-B most of Indians act as good as you. I do not look down upon you but do not consider you as much as you consider yourself. Start finding comfort in facing everything as any other Indian does.

AB pissed by a troll? Let us see how India handles this by Vijay Bhatia on 30 Aug 2010

With every good thing comes unwanted byproducts. Troll is one such thing with advent of cyber technologies like blogs, twitter, facebook etc. US and other matured countries are able to deal with such things more objectively. Amitabh Bachchan chose to use plain old fashioned threat of "giving up gentleman like behavior" to deal with this phenomenon. Let us see how authorities behave. If raw power is used, it will be down right detrimental for India.

What !!! by Manoj on 30 Aug 2010

What !!! No comments yet here? Has AB lost the power of getting eyeballs through a controversy ? Seriously, AB, Shahrukh, Salman et al should take lessons from Aamir Khan for creating creative, unique publicity.
