New Delhi, Jul 27 (IANS): Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is an avid social media user, is under the lens as the netizens have trolled him for his old tweet about women's lingerie.

Recently, a Reddit user shared a screenshot of Big B’s tweet, which the actor had posted on June 12, 2010, where he wrote, “T26 -In the English language, why is 'bra' singular and 'panties' plural”.

For the unversed, Reddit is a social news website and forum where content is socially curated and promoted by site members through voting. The site name is a play on the words "I read it."

While, some older comments on the tweet read as,“Such tweet doesn't suit a person of your calibre, you should apologise”, “This man is ambassador for many govt programs. What a shame (sic)”, “With due respect, even your grandchildren will not find this amusing. Please stop embarrassing yourself, “Not everything that crosses your conscious space needs to be expressed".
