Late on Tuesday, Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan – he with almost 25 million followers on Twitter – did something you and I do regularly. He had a problem with a company’s service, and took to Twitter to complain.

Except, of course, he’s Amitabh Bachchan. If you aren’t familiar with the scale of his popularity, see this and this.

So when he complained about bad phone network service from Vodafone, the world listened. The superstar even went on to take a dig at the operator’s pug mascot. Not surprisingly, what takes hours, sometimes days, to get sorted for people like us got sorted in one hour for the mega star.
