There were no snow-clad mountains, no massive lakes or snowflakes in sight. All we could see was Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan packed in winter clothes braving what looked like a snowstorm in a tight close-up. The pink lips, the pink cheeks and the drooping eyelids were enough for fans to believe that Mr Bachchan was in Ladakh, busy braving the minus 33 degrees cold. But the reality we hear is quite different. Blame it on the hurry of the social media or Mr Bachchan's remarkable sense of humour, the news went viral amongst his fans. Amitabh Bachchan Calls 2020 An 'Odd Year', Reveals He Has Made 'No Resolve Or Resolution' For 2021

A little birdie chirped to us that the 78-year-old actor was very much in the city. And the visual looks like a shot from a recent advertisement campaign he shot for in the film city. There were conjectures also that Big B was shooting for Ajay Devgn's untitled film for which he had to brave the unimaginable cold, but even that possibility is also negated by the said source.

Only Big B can tell us what made him put up that 'chilly' post about braving the harsh weather in Ladakh. We are all ears, sir!
