# Amitabh Bachchan apologises for numbering error in X posts 2026-08-10T14:17:19+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Amitabh Bachchan apologised after mixing up the numbering sequence on his X posts. The actor, who routinely numbers his posts starting with the prefix T, wrote T 5820 to acknowledge the mistake: 'A huge error by me in the numbering... apologies... after 5817.. it should read 5818, 5819, 5820.' He thanked a fan he called 'Ef Sunil' for pointing out the slip. Fans turned the error into memes and jokes. One user quipped about taking a 'Jantar Mantar number leak protest' if the error were not corrected. Another referenced Bachchan's film 'Do Aur Do Paanch'. Bachchan uses EF to mean 'Extended Family'. The identity of 'Ef Sunil' could not be confirmed, though speculation pointed to Surat-based industrialist Sunil Shah. ## Coverage - timesofindia.indiatimes.com Tags: Amitabh Bachchan, fan reactions, social media, typo, X Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/amitabh-bachchan-apologises-for-numbering-error-in-x-posts/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
