Legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan left his fans confused and in a state of worry with his recent post on February 7. In the message posted by the veteran star he wrote “T 5281—time to go.”, which sparked more speculation and fear.
A cryptic yet short tweet got everyone confused by its meaning, with many fearing it was a retirement message, or he was suffering from health issues, or even that he would say goodbye. Comments flooded in, with followers asking questions like, “Where are you going?” and “Are you leaving us?” Some fans expressed their anxiety along with emotional messages, pleading, “Please don’t scare us!” Others, attempting to ease the tension, jokingly suggested that Bachchan might simply be signing off after a long day.
While the tweet sparked concerns, some fans believe it might be a reference to completing a project or marking a personal milestone. Despite the confusion, Sr. Bachchan is yet to clarify the meaning behind his post.
The cryptic post came just days after the 82-year-old actor celebrated his son and actor Abhishek Bachchan’s 49th birthday, sharing a nostalgic throwback photo from Jr Bachchan’s birth in 1976. The heartwarming image featured a rare glimpse of Amitabh in a hospital maternity ward, reflecting on family memories.
On the professional front, he is as active as ever. He is still hosting Kaun Banega Crorepati 16 on TV and lately, was part of the recently released movie Vettiyan opposite Rajinikanth, Fahadh Faasil, and Rana Daggubati. There is absolutely no indication of the actor slackening his career pace.
As an actor who posted reflective status messages, he confused fans with a vague post for the nth time. “T 5281” might represent a code from a project, or even perhaps a diary written by Bachchan himself. However, others believed it might refer to some form of countdown. Only time can tell what his cryptic message means.
