Bollywood’s legendary star Amitabh Bachchan recently celebrated his 83rd birthday. Every year, irrespective of getting swamped by messages and greetings on his birthday, the actor takes time out to reply. This year, because his mobile phone malfunctioned, the actor couldn’t reply to every fan, and for the same reason, he issued an apology at 2 am on Wednesday. Netizens reacted to the late-night apology, appreciated the actor for being so humble and down to earth, and even said, ‘tech glitches happen.’

Further, emphasizing that technology can play funny games, a third internet users wrote – “No worries at all, tech glitches happen to the best of us! Wishing you a belated happy birthday and hoping your mobile gets back on track soon.”On a lighter note, one comment read – “The audacity of a mobile to misbehave on the birthday of a legend.
