Bollywood actor Amitabh Bachchan took to his inimitable style to thank Twitter chief Elon Musk for restoring the blue checkmark on his social media handle.
The Musk-owned social media platform had earlier removed blue ticks from legacy accounts, which had not purchased its paid Blue service and several celebrities including Bachchan, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli and others had lost their blue ticks. “Tu cheez badi hai musk musk” posted the superstar on Friday, writing in Hindi using an eastern Uttar Pradesh dialect, after the trademark blue verification badge was back on the megastar’s Twitter. Big B interchanged the lyrics of the song “Tu Cheez Badi Hai Mast Mast” from the 1994 film “Mohra” to thank “big brother” Musk .
“Hey Musk brother! We thank you very much! Blue Lotus (blue tick) is added in front of my name! Now what do I tell you, brother? I feel like singing a song, Will you like to listen? Ok listen “Tu cheez badi hai musk musk… tu chiz badi hai musk”
Bachchan had earlier taken to the social media platform to return his blue tick which he referred to as the “neel kamal.”
The ‘Piku’ actor also folded his hands urging for the return of his verification badge. The megastar claimed that he had already paid for the services.
Twitter had earlier announced the implementation of paid subscription service which charges USD 8 for blue verification badge on the microblogging site. Those who didn’t pay up or buy the service in time lost the blue checkmark on their handles.
