As we all know Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan is one of the most active celebrities on social media. Big B recently posted a series of tweets on the heavy rains in Mumbai. Thousands of people were stuck in their offices and other places in Mumbai due to waterlogging. The rains certainly did not dampen Mumbai’s spirit. People across the city came in support of each other by offering food and water to people who stranded in heavy rains. Social media was abuzz with helpline numbers and relief alerts. While people were rescuing each other from places across the city, Big B’s tweets had badly upset fans.

He even compared the rains with Hurricane Harvey.

You're an incredible actor. But an obnoxious human being. Who makes jokes out of tragedies? Oh wait, privilege does.

Very responsible and highly mature flood joke from a public figure

Wondering how many Bollywood stars came out of their houses to help or distribute food to the people stranded. Easy to sit at home & tweet!
