Rihanna F-word retweet irates Amitabh Bachchan

Veteran Bollywood figure Amitabh Bachchan has criticised actress Priyanka Chopra for retweeting a Rihanna message containing the F-word.

The Indian cinema star suggested that retweeting the post had the same effect as using it.

"F**k I look like ho? I look like yes and ya look like no," posted Rihanna, which Chopra then forwarded to her Twitter followers.

Chopra later issued an apology to Bachchan after he sent her a message slamming the retweet.

"Alright guys.imma b a good girl now and quietly go to work. teeheehee..think I shud shuttup for a bit.. Haha! have a brilliant day loves! (sic)," she later told her fans.

The former Miss World has recently been in the US working on her debut album with Leona Lewis and The Saturdays producer Sam Watters.

The actress will be launched as a recording artist by the same team behind Lady Gaga's Bollywood remixes.
