Amitabh’s 10k Diwali gift to staff members Netizens react
Bizzarely, Amitabh Bachchan’s ₹10k Diwali Gift with Sweet-box has been blown out of proportion in social media.
Some are of the view the amount as peanuts given his immense wealth and the demanding nature of the work. This reaction has ignited controversy online, with some showering praises for the gesture as humane and others arguing that a person of his stature should offer a more significant bonus that better reflects his fortune and his staff’s labor.
Many netizens feel that ₹10,000 is a small amount for someone with a reported net worth of over ₹1,600 crore. Some compared it to bonuses given by other companies or even the salary of other household staff, arguing that the gift is inadequate and doesn’t compensate for the staff’s “24/7” work.
It”s Perception vs. reality: The incident showcases a larger conversation about the perceived disconnect amid celebrity wealth and the compensation for their support staff. As per critics, the gift seems modest, even as supporters designate that it’s the thought that counts and that the actor is still appreciating his staff in his own way.
