Amitabh Bachchan, the Bollywood megastar, has responded to rumours of India’s name change. For the uninitiated, the Narendra Modi-led Central government is apparently planning to remove the word India from the Constitution and alter the country’s official name to ‘Bharat’.

Big B took to his official X (previously known as Twitter) account on Tuesday (September 5) to express his support for the name change.

He wrote, “भारत माता की जय,” and added the Indian flag emoticon in his post.

Netizens praised Big B for backing India’s name change to ‘Bharat’ shortly after he shared the post. However, several individuals mocked him and dubbed him’spineless’ because of his political views.

Some users speculated that it was a “paid tweet.” Here are some reactions:

The administration is expected to introduce Bills pertaining to the ‘India’ word omission proposal during the upcoming Special Session of Parliament, which will take place from September 18 to 22.

Amitabh Bachchan is a frequent user of social media. He frequently posts photos and videos to keep his followers entertained.

The megastar is currently filming the current season of Kaun Banega Crorepati. In Kalki 2898 AD, he will be featured alongside Prabhas and Deepika Padukone.

He also has Deepika in the Hindi remake of The Intern and Diana Penty in Ribhu Dasgupta’s Section 84.
