Superstar Amitabh Bachchan’s social media posts are quite candid, giving a glimpse of his sense of humour. In a note, Amitabh Bachchan wrote how he was questioned by a five-year-old about working at the age of 80 and advised him to ‘go home and chill’.

“I was at work for the RBI campaign and in the scene was a little kid about 5 or 6 years of age .. in the middle of a rehearsal he turned to me and said .. ‘excuse me , how old are you ?’

I said ‘80′ !

he snapped back ‘ Oh ! so why are you working ? my grandparents are sitting at home and chilling .. you should do that also ..!!’

I did not have a reply for him ..

Primarily because I was astonished at the precocious veracity of this 5 yr old !

And secondly, I did not have an answer !”

He added that instigated by the kid’s mother, he took a picture with him and even gave him an autograph before leaving. However the conversation remained with him.

It has a small pocket in the front with the strings behind).” In the photo, Big B has donned a white sweatshirt and printed harem pants, with a scarf.
