Many Bollywood celebs, including Amitabh Bachchan, Abhishek Bachchan, Aftab Shivdasani, Ayushmann Khurrana and Sushant Singh Rajput were present at the stadium to cheer for India. ButAbhishek’s presence didn’t seem to go down well with a twitterati.
It all started with an insulting tweet that rebuked AB Junior for his ‘celebrity status.’ Someone called @mainbhiengineer wrote “Big B paid for Aftab Shivdasani’s ticket so that Abhishek Bachchan isn’t the least known celebrity in the stadium.”

Junior Bachchan made sure to respond. “@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.
@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

Abhishek’s prompt reply:
@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!!

The war continued.
Poking fun at Abhishek’s disastrous film, ‘Drona’, the troll tweeted:
Sir @juniorbachchan you can totally expect sense and logic from me, I’m not a movie named ‘Drona’.

Abhishek didn’t give up.
@mainbhiengineer “I’m not a movie named Drona”? Of course not. you are Mainbhiengineer. That makes complete sense and logic! Well done.

To which guy replied:
@juniorbachchan of course ‘Mainbhiengineer’ isn’t my name but Twitter handle, which makes more sense than https://t.co/fTYQcUbsfw in ur bio
