Fans were shocked to see vague tweets being posted from Amitabh Bachchan's hacked Twitter profile on late Monday night

Mumbai: Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan started trending on Twitter all of a sudden on Monday night and the social media users were shocked to see some strange tweets being sent out from his account. Everyone realised soon after that the account of Big B was obviously hacked as the DP had also been replaced with that of Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan's. Some fans even figured it out because the tweets weren't numbered like the superstar would do by putting 'T - [number]' before each tweet. Amitabh's twitter account has been hacked by a pro-Pakistan Turkish group that goes by the name of Ayyildiz Tim, as per reports.

His Twitter biography, which usually reads, "Actor... well at least some still saying so!", was suffixed by "Love Pakistan".

Additionally, three posts were sent out and the verified profile's cover image was also changed. One of the posts includes a picture of Khan with the Pakistan flag.
