Bolti band, truly!
Amitabh Bachchan wasn't the only one taking a jibe at Shobhaa De. Cricketer Virender Sehwag, too, had an epic response after Sakshi Malik won the bronze medal for India at Rio Olympics 2016.
Here's what Virender Sehwag tweeted:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en-gb">
<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/SakshiMalik?src=hash">#SakshiMalik</a> ke gale me medal kitna "Sobha De" raha hai na !!! <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/HappyRakshaBandhan?src=hash">#HappyRakshaBandhan</a> <a href="https://t.co/5qnN0tbD4y">pic.twitter.com/5qnN0tbD4y</a>

<script charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
Amitabh Bachchan appreciated Virender Sehwag's sense of humour and tweeted:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en-gb">

For the uninitiated, Shobhaa De had mocked Indian athletes participating at Rio on Twitter.
Here's what&nbsp;Shobhaa De had tweeted:
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en-gb">
Goal of Team India at the Olympics: Rio jao. Selfies lo. Khaali haat wapas aao. What a waste of money and opportunity.
&mdash; Shobhaa De (@DeShobhaa) <a href="https://twitter.com/DeShobhaa/status/762658754152325120">8 August 2016</a></blockquote>
<script charset="utf-8" type="text/javascript" src="http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
Shobhaa De's tweet stoked a controversy with the author receiving flak for her tweet.
