At 82, Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan continues to maintain a distinct presence on X (formerly Twitter). But lately, his tweets have taken a puzzling turn. Since April 23, he’s been posting nothing but numbers—literally. Tweets like 'T 5356,' 'T 5357,' and so on have left fans confused, amused, and deeply curious.
Blank Tweets, Full of Questions
This isn’t the first time Big B has shown a love for numbering his tweets. In fact, he’s known for being meticulous about it. But this stretch of over 20 silent tweets with no text or images? That’s new. Some fans think he’s correcting past tweet numbers. Others wonder if it’s a creative protest or a quiet reflection following recent national tragedies like the Pahalgam attack.
Fans Are Divided
From funny memes to genuine concern, social media is buzzing with reactions. One user joked that Amitabh Bachchan’s timeline looks like an episode of Black Mirror, while others criticized him for staying silent during a tense time in India. On the flip side, many believe this is his subtle way of expressing grief or simply stepping back without leaving entirely.
A Digital Experiment?
Earlier in April, Bachchan expressed frustration about being stuck at 49 million followers and asked fans for tips to grow. Some now believe these number-only tweets are part of a strategy to boost engagement. Whether intentional or not, it’s working—fans are checking his feed daily, waiting for the next move.

What’s Ahead for Amitabh Bachchan?
While his X feed may be quiet, Big B’s acting schedule is buzzing. He recently appeared in Vettaiyan, marking his Tamil film debut alongside Rajinikanth. Up next, he stars in Kalki 2898 AD: Part 2 with Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Kamal Haasan, and in the legal thriller Section 84, directed by Ribhu Dasgupta.
