The superstar of Bollywood Amitabh Bachchan has been sweet to send birthday wishes to celebs via  SMS. However, much to his surprise, he doesn’t get a response every time. And the Pink actor does not like being ignored, making it a point to take to social media to remind the birthday boys and girls to acknowledge the wishes sent there way by him.

Anushka Sharma, who celebrated her birthday on 1 May, was the latest to get such a reminder from Big B.

Anushka Sharma who celebrated her 30th birthday with husband Virat Kholi received a tweet by Amitabh Bachchan, who said, “@AnushkaSharma .. Anushka .. this is Amitabh Bachchan @Srbachchan .. wished you on May 1st via SMS .. no response .. checked they said you changed number .. sent greetings again .. love and wishes .. you looked radiant at the IPL game last night.”

To this, the Pari actor replied: “Thank you so much, Sir, for remembering my birthday and sending your kind wishes! (Responding to your SMS as I tweet this).”

In the past too, Big B had to remind people to reply to his wishes. Here are the other actors who made it to the ‘ignored text list’.

Ranveer Singh just got out of the situation with this sweet reply.

Sonam Kapoor had no other way than saying sorry.

We guess Preity Zinta replied to Bachchan through a text.

Well, Big B we think social media is the place where you have more chances of getting a prompt reply, than via SMS.
