Sorry, it's a wrong number

A prank by Bollywood superstar and show host Amitabh Bachchan has ushered in a nightmarish time for the users of ten mobile phone numbers in Punjab.

In a recent episode, Bachchan had randomly given out a mobile number when a participant at the show pestered him for his contact details.

“No sooner was the show aired on television, all hell broke loose for me. I have received thousands of calls in the last few days. People are calling 24x7 from the North-East to Gujarat, Kashmir to Kanyakumari,” says wedding planner Karan Wahi, one of those ‘seriously affected’ by Amitabh’s prank.
