Salman Khan seems to have taken an edge on rival, SRK. Salman joined Twitter with his account, Being SalmanKhan, on Tuesday, the same day that Shah Rukh completed 100 days on the microblogging site. And within six hours, accumulated as many followers as Shah Rukh did in the first day. 24-hours after his first post, Salman had 18,833 followers, compared to SRK's nearly 10,000, in the same time, says a media report.
In his first tweet, Salman posted, “Arbaaz ne kaha ke tweet kar, toh banta hai boss.“ His next came an hour later, “Challo nw , whoever was being me, party over, baju hatto plz.“ Late Tuesday night, the actor tweeted, “Thanx guys! Feels good.
Promise to tweet, ek baar jo maine commitment kar di.“
While Salman is following only two people -- brother Arbaaz Khan, on whose insistence he joined the site, and his Dabangg co-star Sonakshi Sinha, his following includes a fair number of industry wallahs who welcomed him warmly. Actor Riteish Deshmukh tweeted, “Hey a big shout out to the best looking man. Give him all the love tweeps.“ Sonam Kapoor tweeted, “Welcome...
Had the privilege of working with him on my first film.“
SRK, meanwhile, is going strong with 2,66,743 followers at the time of going to press. SRK disappointed at KKR's loss
The defeat of SRK's IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) against Chennai Superkings on Tuesday evening has left him dejected.
Ever since, Khan has been on a tweeting spree, expressing his disappointment.
“I take the blame for not putting up a good enough show...so much love for kkr & i couldn't reciprocate. Final thanx to kolkata audience. u make us proud...couldnt do the same...& cant make any promises for future either, have lost the right. my kids gave me a hug for the first time in 3 yrs when we lost. they have overcome the sadness of defeat better than me. time to learn. Just disappointed. cant do anymore for kkr. sorry cant sound fakely uppity about next season. I am off now to deal with disappointments in the way i know best. u find ur poison. someone sent a mathematical (ill informed) profit made by kkr. to correct u. not invested million $s just some priceless emotions in kkr.”
