The Bollywood Tweet Diary
A quick update on what the stars are saying in 140 characters.
It's perhaps another display of his marketing savvy!
Aamir Khan, without a single tweet, already has 22,000 followers and 485 lists waiting with bated breath of what the actor will tweet first.
For now, his bio states, "Oscar nominated producer/ One of India's leading actor/ director."
Now, can anyone compete with that? The buzz states that the actor will start twittering on July 1!
So get yourself added to his followers and wait for this Piscean's pearls of wisdom!
Twitter just got even more interesting, eh?
Sundays with the Bachchans!
The Bachchan mania is one to witness and Sr Bachchan posts some pictures with wry tweets.
He says, "Every Sunday for the last 28 years, non stop and without fail, the crowds come Coming in to Jalsa to meet Sunday crowds... but getting in is also a huge exercise.
Sr Bachchan at his gates last Sunday along with Abhishek and Aishwarya.
He tweets: "Sunday crowds ... have no words for this attention!! Abhi and Ash join me at the gate ... will never be able to repay this love."
Wow!
PS: Did you know Jr Bachchan's current background picture is "its a photo I took of Aishwarya during the filming of tere bina the song in guru."
So sweet no? Go check it out!
Tweeting, diva style!
Bipasha Basu maybe planning to get her own Twitter account (as her staff announces), but till then Bong siren is being her diva self!
The actor actually has her staff -- BBS -- tweet on her behalf! Now, that's some attitude we like, especially because it's perhaps something we all wonder -- do the stars really tweet/blog themselves?
My favourite tweet: "Please note website bipashabasu.net listed as 'unsafe', link removed. It is suspected attack from jealous rivals (BB Staff update)"
Surely beats regular tweets, eh?
Up in the air
Deepika Padukone went sky diving in Mauritius and tweeted her experience. "Last day off in mauritius before I head back to india.guess where I'm headed-SKYDIVING!!rats in my stomach again!
The actor who dived with Shahana Goswami posted pictures of the clear skies and what it felt like when she was halfway up there, her parachute opening, the views and her safe landing.
She tweeted about her experience, "OMG!!!!I'm numb!speechless!WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!!!!feeling FEARLESS now!!bring it on...:-)WOW!!!ok I got to stop this."
We like her gutsy streak. You?
Snapped!
