Taking to the comment section, people shared their views. “The ‘B’ in ‘Big B’ stands for Budhwaar,” a user said. “Amitabh Bachchan did it first,” said a second person. “What did you think? American stole a whole land,” added a third netizen. “Finally Hollywood also copied our Bollywood movie dance step (Wednesday),” joined a fourth. “It looks more real than the original,” said a fifth netizen. “Netflix and Wednesday fans crying in the corner,” said a sixth viewer. “For those of you who are scribbling Big B did it first, I've got news for you. This kind of step was popular back in the goth discos in the U.S. and Europe from the 70s and 80s. Both artists copied the step, so there's no originality in anyone's efforts. Also, Michael Jackson did a version of this step from his 1983 music video Thriller,” pointed out a seventh.
Netflix’s ‘Wednesday’ is one of the most popular shows that was released in 2022. The ‘Wednesday’ dance step became a trend after the character ‘Wednesday Addams’ did the steps with a stoic look on her face. The popular character was played by actor Jenna Ortega.
