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.

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