Big B takes a jibe at Shobha De over Olympics 'selfie' comment

He said she has made those people stunned, who talk unnecessarily; hard work speaks and sometimes even defeats a pen

Megastar Amitabh Bachchan indirectly took a dig at author Shobha De while congratulating P V Sindhu on winning the women's badminton singles semi-finals at Olympics in Rio.

De had mocked Indian athletes, saying their aim was only to click selfies and return without any medal from the sporting gala. The author was criticised and trolled for her comments.

Bachchan, 73, congratulated Sindhu, saying when she comes back he would like to click a selfie with her.

T 2352 - #PVSindhu .. aap "khaali haath" nahein, medal leke wapas aa rahein hain .. aur hum aapke saath 'selfie' nikalne chahate hain !!
