Amitabh Bachchan has been the Twitter freak of late, and keeps his fans engaged with his quirky tweets, be it talking to Twitter Ji to increase the number of his followers or any other share. Well, now another tweet posted by Big B has caught many eyeballs, wherein he seems to have questioned the “westernised” birthday celebrations in India.
Do you think it’s really a birthday without cutting a cake and making a wish while blowing out candles? But, it seems the Piku star doesn’t like to celebrate it that way and asked, “Why cake? Why candle?” Calling the cake-cutting and candle-blowing celebrations “westernised”, he wrote, “The English left the practice with us and we have become slaves to it.”
T 2816 – अंग्रेज़ Happy Birthday की प्रथा छोड़ गए और हम अभी भी उसके ग़ुलाम हैं ! ये cake क्यूँ ? ये candle क्यूँ ? ये फूँक कर बुझाना क्यूँ ? हमारी सभ्यता में दीप प्रज्वलित करते हैं ; ये उसे फूँक कर बुझाने को कहते हैं ! और ये गाना क्यूँ ! ये गाइए : वर्ष नव, हर्ष नव …

Underlining the contrast between desi celebrations and the westernised ones, he added, “Why to blow out candles when in our culture we light a lamp on birthday?” Taking it a tad bit further he also expressed his reservation about the birthday song and instead urged everyone to sing, “Varsh nav, harsh nav!”
No sooner did he tweet it, people were quick to point out his “hypocrisy” many proofs of Bachchan cutting a cake. Some even questioned why his granddaughter Aaradhya had a big birthday party. And quite unsurprisingly, the tweet became fodder for meme-makers, who took this opportunity to slam the veteran Bollywood star in their own way. Sample these.
