Abhishek Bachchan’s presence at Eden Gardens on March 19, 2016 appeared to cause as much comment as India’s victory over Pakistan.
The 40-year-old actor was still trending, credit goes to ‘Enginerd’ who called him the ‘least known celebrity’ watching the India-Pakistan WT20 match at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens last Saturday.
The anonymous Twitter user with the handle ‘Enginerd’ targeted junior Bachchan by saying “Big B paid for Aftab Shivdasani’s ticket so that Abhishek Bachchan isn’t the least known celebrity in the stadium.”
Never shy of engaging with trolls, Abhishek responsed to the tweet “@mainbhiengineer haha. Good try! “Least known celebrity”? Isn’t that a bit of a contradiction? Chalo at least you think I’m worthy of a tweet.”
The troll didn’t stop here and It soon became a full-blown argument:

@juniorbachchan Sir honestly I think, u r worthy of not just a tweet but a million tweets. But not worthy enough to get my 3hrs & 300 rupees

@mainbhiengineer well a million tweets will most probably take you a lot more than 3 hrs and will cost you more than 300rs. U do the maths!!

@juniorbachchan Sir script can generate million tweets in secs, but unlike your films I want you to get the real love not the mechanical
