Amitabh Bachchan’s social media is generally a delight, as is the thread of comments on his posts. At 77, Big B is still at stake – not only is he one of the hardest actors to work with, but he also leads the social media rankings. There are times, however, when he struggles with Internet terminology, millennial jargon or just occasional slang. Recently, he struggled with the word “baller”, launched by actress Bhumi Pednekar, who is 30 years old. On his latest Instagram entry, Bhumi commented: “44 years later and still giving us memorable characters … I tell you, you are the most ballerina person of all time.” A curious Big B responded to his comment and wrote: “Bhumi, what is the baller? Kab se pucch raha hun, koi bata hi nahi raha. “

“Baller” is a superlative, informal way of describing something or someone as excellent or impressive. Bhumi first dropped the word “B” on Big B’s training post, along with his grandson Agastya Nanda. “You are a baller, sir,” commented Bhumi. Take a look at the article here:
Amitabh Bachchan does his best to keep up. He recently revealed that he had found abbreviations long before Generation Y – K3G, which is the shorthand of his film Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, was apparently the invention of Big B. He also offered a condensed form of the title of his next film, Gulabo Sitabo, with Ayushmann Khurrana. “Abbreviation for next generation / next generation, conversing … LOL, ROTL, GOAT etc. I had designed K3G .. for Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and he stayed. Next in line Gulabo Sitabo. So, GiBoSiBo, GiBoSiBo Cool na ..? CAC! Cool like a cat, “Big B tweeted.
