Tillotama Shome was disappointed with Amazon over her difficulty in ordering filters for a mask, specially designed for elders, for her parent. The actor took to Twitter to express her displeasure not just for not receiving the product, but also about being made to wait three months before being asked to cancel the order. The Angrezi Medium star slammed the company for not prioritising the elderly and even tagged the founder-CEO Jeff Bezos and called him ‘vulnerable’.

Tillotama had first tweeted her grievance on Monday and wrote that she had received a response only after writing on the microblogging platform. She added that she had no option but to explain it to her parent, who was counting on the product.

Here’s the tweet

The company’s customer service did express their regret and hoped to serve better next time, but Tillotama was not pleased. She could not even cancel the order as she did not receive the e-mail, on which one needed to reply to cancel the order. Later, the actor claimed that her email could also not be delivered.

Tillotama had tweeted on Monday that she had been making calls for the order, placed on March 23, and was told that it was finally arriving on 18th of this month. She added that there was no call option for her to raise a grievance, and hence she wrote on twitter. Konkona Sensharma too had tweeted for her A Death in the Gunj actor then.

Meanwhile, Tillotama’s Angrezi Medium, starring late Irrfan Khan, was one of the last films to hit the theatres before the pandemic. While the collections were hampered, the movie received love upon its release on a streaming platform. She recently featured in the film Chintu Ka Birthday.
