Chandigarh, July 27

A Reddit user on Wednesday shared a screenshot of Amitabh Bachchan’s tweet–which the Bollywood megastarhad posted in 2010–about women’s lingerie.

“In the English language, why is ‘bra’ singular and ‘panties’ plural,” read the tweet posted by Amitabh Bachchan on June 12, 2010.

The screenshot went insanely viral in no time, sending the internet into frenzy. And soon netizens began trolling Big B for his post.

“Finally someone is asking the important questions!”, wrote one, another wrote: “Amitji, what’s this behaviour?” “Good question Bachhan saab try this in next season of KBC”, commented one user.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
