'Still not qualified?': Adnan Siddiqui's Twitter hasn't been verified yet and he wants to know why

Actor was compelled to ask authorities responsible for managing the micro-blogging site what more they needed.

At a time when influencers, models and bloggers on social media are getting their accounts verified, actor Adnan Siddiqui is still using an unverified Twitter handle despite having more than 98,000 followers.

The popular actor, who’s also a producer now, took to the micro-blogging site to air his concerns. Tagging the Twitter team responsible for verifying public figures’ accounts, he wrote, “Hello, 220 million Pakistanis can vouch for me being a big time small actor (or the other way round, as they please), who had worked across continents.”

He then asked, “[Am I] still not qualified enough to get my handle verified?”

Hello @verified @jack 220 million Pakistanis can vouch for me being a big time small actor (or the other way round, as they please)who’s worked across continents. Still not qualified enough to get my handle verified? #adnanwho?
