Interestingly, only a couple of days back, Oxford had announced Rizz as the word of the year. "Rizz" -- a colloquial term defined as "style, charm, or attractiveness" -- has been crowned word of the year for 2023, Oxford University Press (OUP) announced on Monday. "Etymologically, the term is believed to be a shortened form of the word 'charisma', taken from the middle part of the word, which is an unusual word formation pattern," it noted.
Amitabh Bachchan, at age of 81 is known to keep up with the times and found the perfect occasion to make use of the new Gen Z lingo that has got official recognition.
Actor Abhishek Bachchan has penned a heartfelt post for his nephew Agastya Nanda who is making his acting debut.
