New Delhi: Big Bollywood combats have always been triggering our curiosity but it's been hard to determine who has an upper hand. Social media since couple of years became the perfect platform for analyzing who the bigger man is or whose army has most number of warriors fighting for them.
Twitter among the other social media has been the most engaging platform which takes no time to create a hashtag that implies the support or oppose for particular celebrity. Out of all, Salman Khan and Shahukh Khan are the biggest stars who share a hidden competition even after flushing their eight year old rivalry. Hash tag like SalmanKhanLovers, SalmanKhanHaters and alike that ShahRukhKhanhaters and lovers starts trending in the virtual world when their flicks releases, their box office collections are discussed or they are recognized in some major or small ceremonies.
Tweet and retweets are weapons their followers use for each other and none is ready give up. The latest example was set by the recent visit of US President Barach Obama who on the last day of three days visit in India used King Khan's ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le jayenge' dialogue in his statement as he said, “Senorita, bade bade deshon ... You know what I mean”. While SRK alongwith his fans were on Cloud nine with President recognizing his dialogue, Salman Khan's fans were quite irked for ignoring him.
Not much time it took for Shah Rukh to trend on top with hashtag srkprideofindia but as expected Dabangg Khan's twitter brigade played the trick by throwing #SwacchBharatWithSalman to give an equivalent competition to his rival Baadshah Khan.
Earlier too, Shah Rukh-Salman's followers crossed swords on twitter as their hashtags have gone head-to-head on the internet
Twitterati surprised us last year by trending #AskSRK ahead of Sallu bhai's film Kick's release.
At other occasion #SalmanDefinesEntertainment started trending to counter #SRKEntertainerOfIndianCinema as he was awarded entertainer of the year at the Apsara Awards, 2014.
It's hard to deny that like our politicians, the B'town stars too are hungry to conquer by outsmarting their companion in their field. And fans in the virtual world love the battle which is turning out fascinating with each passing day.
