Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan has threatened to quit micro-blogging website Twitter. A highly active social media user, Bachchan recently tweeted, “T 2599 - TWITTER ..!!! you reduced my number of followers .. !!??HAHAHAHAHAHAHA .. !! that's a joke .. time to get off from you .. thank you for the ride .. .. there are many 'other' fish in the sea - and a lot more exciting.” The actor stated that the website is reducing his number, in a tweet that has now gone viral.
The comment interestingly came after he was surpassed Shah Rukh Khan. While the former was just at 32,919,128 followers on the platform, the latter was leading with 32,932,668. The gap, however, increased as Bachchan's followers decreased to 32,900,085. Fans of both the stars are now locked in a war of the followers, waiting to see whether Bachchan Sr will catch up with Shah Rukh. The veteran actor has made his social media a platform for his admirers to interact with him. He was recently in the news for a hand-written note to 'Padmaavat' actor Ranveer Singh. On the work front, Bachchan is working on 'Thugs of Hindostan' with Aamir Khan.
