In a unique way, megastar Amitabh Bachchan has paid tribute to the late Sean Connery.
Sean Connery is best known for being the first actor to play British spy James Bond on screen. He passed away on Saturday at the age of 90.
Trying his hand at numerology, Big B took to the microblogging website, and wrote: “T 3707 – What is the date today ..31 . 10 . 20 .. add up Rightwards arrow .. 3 1 is 4 .. then 1 = 5 .. then 0 .. then 2, so 4 1 2 = 7 .. then 0 ..so .. 3 1 1 2 = 7 .. and 2 zeros before you get there .. So .. 007 .. !! Sean Connery passes away .. he gave life to 007!!”
However, this post did not seem to sit well with Twitterati. They deemed this post as “confusing and illogical”.
Several took to the comment section to share their confusion.
Reactions:
Some noteworthy non-Bond films included director Alfred Hitchcock’s “Marnie” (1964), “The Wind and the Lion” (1975) with Candice Bergen, director John Huston’s “The Man Who Would be King” (1975) with Michael Caine, director Steven Spielberg’s “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” (1989) and the Cold War tale “The Hunt for Red October” (1990).
