Shahrukh Khan on Twitter
All those on twitter there must be aware of this by now but still for the unaware, here I am making the announcement:
“Shahrukh Khan a.k.a. SRK is now on twitter. o_O”
He joined just 2 days back and shockingly already has 36,000+ followers. (I am one among them too) I have never seen someone’s twitter followers rising at this scale and speed. Afterall, SRK is known as the king of bollywood.
You can also join the bandwagon and follow Shahrukh via his twitter handle @iamsrk. Also, a word of precaution, there is a fake twitter profile claiming to be Shahrukh. DO NOT FOLLOW @imsrk! Its fake! Notice the difference in spelling…
happy tweeting SRK and friends…follow me too (@onlyyourspiyu)
Also check out, other bollywood celebrities on twitter!
