Twitter Alert

It was last week that Amitabh Bachchan tried convincing him to join Twitter and Aamir Khan has already decided to join in. Khan is reportedly joining the micro-blogging site on July 1.

While Imran Khan could not stop tweeting about his last film I Hate Luv Storys, his new filmmaker Konal Kohli has forbidden him to spill any beans about his next film Break Ke Baad.

This week on Twitter, Salman Taseer discussed politicians’ lifeless tweets, Ali Zafar updated his fans with details of his tour of India and Tyra Banks held a heart-to-heart conversation with her followers. Here are the top ten tweets of the week.

Mahesh Bhatt

When I watch the Fair and Lovely commercials, I realise nothing has changed. Our minds are still colonised.

Salman Taseer

Most politicians I have followed on Twitter give dull, dreary, motivational messages with no attempt at wit or originality. Why?

Ali Zafar

Listening to the final mastered CD of the movie. Sounds great. You will have four songs in my voice with a special track “Bus Aik Soch” written and composed by me. Release [is] on June 21.

Dia Mirza

Technology spoils us. There was a time I would be drowned in these books [but I] have not looked in their direction since Google took over the world.

Sania Mirza

My opponent tomorrow is six feet three inches tall. Maybe I can buy some inches off her ... Haha. Gosh, what do these tennis players eat?!

Amitabh Bachchan

Sometimes it is best to follow what you really want to do - nothing! Such a joy to be with family and do nothing.

Ashton Kutcher

Why does it seem like the only good thing on the news is the occasional weather report and sports. Today, a lot of healthy babies were born!

Demi Moore

My hubby is a true romantic. Ashton Kutcher said he is going to build a house on the land of his first date with me.

Tyra Banks

I have a five-head [...] and a short chin and tiny lips but it all seems to work. It is all about how you carry.

Shah Rukh Khan

My father always wanted me to visit Kashmir, Rome and Istanbul with him. He is not around. So [I am] taking my kids to these places. He will be pleased.
