Twitter alert
Bipasha Basu is the latest Bollywood celebrity to join Twitter. Basu joined the micro-blogging site and announced her entry by tweeting a thank you-message to her fans, asking them to remain in touch with her.
Among many other celebrities, Kunal Kapoor welcomed her tweeting, “If you are wondering why it’s suddenly getting so hot on Twitter, it’s because Bipasha is now on [it].”
After Aamir Khan joined Twitter last week, one wondered if the actor’s rivalry with Shah Rukh Khan had so far kept him away from following him on the site, but Aamir says he would love to track Shah Rukh’s posts.
“It’s just been a few days since I have joined the site and I will start following people soon and yes, I would love to follow Shah Rukh on Twitter. Why not?” Aamir told reporters during a press conference.
Aamir also commented on nephew Imran Khan’s latest hit, I Hate Luv Storys: “Congratulations nephew. I believe your film is doing very well. Got lucky, huh?” Imran responded, “It ain’t luck, Mamujaan!”

Bipasha Basu
Loving yourself is about respecting yourself and liking every bit of yourself; being confident in who you are, and not wanting to be a clone.
Aamir Khan
So all the teams I support lose. At least it indicates that my record, like that of Paul the octopus, is 100 per cent! Grr ... so who should I back now?
Conan O’Brien
This laptop is hot on my legs. I shall invent a space age Kevlar pad that protects my legs from heat. Or maybe I’ll just put on pants.
Salman Ahmad
Sports and music is the glue that keeps Pakistan together. No Shia, no Sunni, no Pashtun, no Balochi ... all in unity!
Ali Noor
Family day at hypermart. [I] am with my brother-in-law and they won’t let us in. Walking in Fortress Stadium, looking for a girl.
Priyanka Chopra
Hung out with my family. Felt great to just chill with everyone on the breakfast table.
Ashton Kutcher
Artists are just regular people who dream in the daylight.
Lady Gaga
I would stare into the bright lights and imagine I could do anything, be anything. And I would tell myself it would be me up there one day.
Karan Johar
After many years, I have grown to realise that there has to be a world beyond work ... a world I plan to explore from now onwards.
Ali Zafar
Jumping with joy. I love my life. The day I meet God, I am going to give Him a big hug!
