"GOD IS ON TWITTER" was the buzz when the master blaster Sachin Tendulkar opened his account with the above tweet and posted a sleepy pic of himself! We just loved his literally out-of-bed look and honesty :)
Tendulkar had more than 41,000 followers including leading Bollywood stars, just 16 hours after his first "tweet" and every newspaper and media reported his first words to tweeple!
2. BeingSalmanKhan: every human life has equal value n any act of terror, anywhere in the world is unpardonable. be it 9/11 or 26/11.
That's how the dhaasu Mr I-tweet-in-Hinglish Salman Khan apologised to his fans after his remark on the 26/11 terror attacks drew reactions from politicians, media and all & sundry. In an interview he purportedly said, “We have had a lot of these attacks and they have not been from Pakistan but have been from within as well..." He also said the attacks received more attention than other terror incidents because the “elite” were targeted. [Two five-star hotels the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel and The Oberoi Trident were taken hostage by armed gunmen in a three-day siege.]
In the umpteen interviews that followed, Salman later said that he had been misquoted and tweeted: "Looks like I mite have to get off twitter. Don’t want to but wat to do? I think I messed up,so sorry guys,$sorry bolne mein koi sharam nahi (There’s no shame in apologising).”
More popular than all the three Khans, Sachin Tendulkar and Amitabh Bachchan, Priyanka Chopra has 764,713 tweeple following her every move on twitter. So, it wasn't surprising when we heard that a segment of the large fan following took offence to the "back to civilisation" reference in the above tweet posted while the Bollywood actress was shooting for Saat Khoon Maaf in Kashmir. Priyanka soon issued a clarification with a tweet that went: ‘By ‘back to civilisation’ I meant coming back to my regular life.’ Funny, how her earlier tweets that declared Kashmir ’stunning’ and ‘ beautiful’ were so easily replaced by misplaced anger over this seemingly innocent tweet.
This became one of the most retweeted and circulated twit pics posted by Shah Rukh Khan... No wonder, since it was the first look for his sci-fi film Ra.1 where he reportedly plays a super-hero. King Khan Shah Rukh took his first steps on Twitter not so long ago and has managed to steer clear of any controversies with his political correctness and "share the love" attitude on the micro-blogging site. In fact, his narcissistic twit pics say a lot more about him than his tweets...
The Amitabh Bachchan & journalist Rajeev Masand war took off with this tweet!
This was a retort to Masand's tweet on a promotional gimmick by Akshay Kumar: Need innovative ideas to promote films in competitive times. But Akshay Kumar grinning like a jackass at RK Laxman's hospital bed is a new low.
Amitabh was irked by Akshay being called a ‘jackass’ and he even tweeted Barkha Dutt, “One of your colleagues Rajeev Masand, just called Akshay Kumar a jackass. Is this your 'aspiration' for 'higher standards!" Talk about being patronising! Either way, the tweet war was picked up by all online and offline media.... and Sr Bachchan hasn't stopped tweeting like a rabbit through the day - famous quotes, twit pics and more quotes...
