Shah Rukh Khan joins Twitter

By Subhash K. Jha -

More and more Bollywood A-listers feel the need to communicate with their fans through social networking sites on the internet. After Priyanka Chopra, Abhishek Bachchan, Imran Khan and Karan Johar, it's now Shah Rukh who went on Twitter on Saturday.

Within 24 hours Shah Rukh has 10,000 followers on Twitter. A new record in twittering, one supposes.

Shah Rukh's best friend Karan Johar admits he persuaded the My Name Is Khan star to get on Twitter. "It is really a very satisfying way of communicating with the world outside your immediate circle. I've been persuading all my friends to get on Twitter. Shah Rukh finally relented. Within 24 hours he had 10, 000 followers."

The star is already hooked hopelessly to Twitter. He hopes to establish a personal rapport with his fans and movie-watchers in time for the release of My Name Is Khan which is a very important piece of cinema and not quite what Shah Rukh fans would expect from him.

Shah Rukh felt this was an opportune moment for a direct interaction with people who watch his films, to let them know exactly what to expect in My Name Is Khan.

Interestingly, while most of Bollywood's A-listers are succumbing to the temptation of getting on social networks, two stars who absolutely refuse to do are Katrina Kaif and Ranbir Kapoor.

They have both admitted on separate occasions that they'd rather not have people being updated on their minute-by-minute activities.
