Pakistani Man Trolls Sakshi Malik’s Bronze Win, Silenced By Big B

Here’s how India responded to this ‘India versus Jealous Pakistani Reporter’ twitter fight.

Finally one of the 119 competitors that India sent to Rio has won a medal - a bronze - now see how they portray it as if they won 20 golds

Shots Fired: This is How Big B Responded

Amitabh Bachchan tweeted his displeasure and said:

For me it is worth a 1000 golds and even that is not enough. Pride for Sakshi, proud that she is Indian and a woman https://t.co/io5JyaMTUP

All India Congress Committee spokesperson Priyanka Chaturvedi also took it upon herself to reply to trolls.

@manakgupta only if bomb making, squabbling, finger pointing&terrorising was a sport, Pak would have excelled. Just saying. @omar_quraishi

And then a bunch of other people from all across India joined in, and by a bunch we mean maybe a few hundred.
