During the festive season, glimpses of how celebrities mark Diwali often make headlines. A recent video related to Bollywood legend Amitabh Bachchan has captured widespread attention, showing the generous gifts he reportedly gave to his staff. The video in question shows a content creator meeting one of Amitabh Bachchan’s staff members. He showcases the gifts Big B’s staff members received this Diwali. According to the clip, Amitabh Bachchan distributed a box of sweets along with Rs 10,000. However, the post has drawn criticism online over the amount of cash mentioned in the video. Amitabh Bachchan’s Diwali Gifts For Staff The video, shared on Instagram, begins with the creator showing a sweet box, saying, “Ye mithai baata ja raha hai. Ye Amitabh Bachchan ka ghar hai (These sweets are being distributed. This is Amitabh Bachchan’s house),” as he films the surroundings. When asked about money, the staff member replied, “Paise bhi diye (Money was also given)” and revealed that he received Rs 10,000. The caption accompanying the post reads, “Bollywood Biggest Actor Amitabh Bachchan House in Mumbai Juhu & Amitabh Bachchan gave Rs 10,000 cash and a box of sweets to his house staff and security personnel.” The video shows staff and security personnel receiving their gifts, though News18 could not independently verify these claims.

In the comments section, many expressed disappointment over the amount of cash given. They felt it was insufficient considering the staff’s work and the actor’s wealth. One user commented, “That’s very sad. They should be given way more money for the kind of things they do – running about 24*7 for a star. It’s not an easy job.” Another said, “Not a big enough amount, Rs 10,000.” Another remarked, “They earn crores but pay pennies to workers who served them.” Comparisons to everyday workers also appeared. “Isse zyada to factory me kaam krne wale majduro ko milta hai (Factory workers get more than this),” someone else wrote, while an individual added, “Bahut kam dia hai, itna to koi chota dukandar ya businessman apne labour ko de deta hai (He has given very little. Even a small shopkeeper or businessman gives this much to their labourers).” Other remarks included, “10,000 se kya hoga? (What will they do with Rs 10,000?),” “He could do much more for sure,” and “Isse jyada toh humko mil gaya (We got more than this).” Not all comments were critical. One user wrote, “People saying only 10,000. It’s their wish and they are giving it to each – it’s a big thing.” Companies Go Big With Festive Gifts The criticism comes amid a wave of videos that show companies and business owners giving lavish Diwali gifts to their employees. For example, a Noida-based company, Info Edge, gave its staff a set of VIP suitcases, a snack box and a traditional diya this Diwali.
