Hyderabad: Amid the ongoing debate surrounding the proposed name change of India to Bharat, Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan has seemingly taken a stance on the matter. In a recent tweet, Big B seemingly made a significant statement by saying, "Bharat mata ki jai" in Hindi, accompanied by the Tricolour emoji and a red flag emoji.
His tweet quickly garnered attention, accumulating 19K likes within just a few minutes of being posted. While many expressed their support for his sentiment, there were also those who questioned the reason behind his tweet. As his tweet came during the India-Bharat row, it seems like Big B has just showcased his support in favour of India's name change.
The controversy regarding the name change began when screenshots of a dinner invitation for a G20 event scheduled for September 9 circulated on social media. Notably, the invitation referred to the 'President of Bharat' instead of the customary 'President of India.' This unconventional reference sparked a flurry of opinions and reactions from various political leaders.
