Twitter Alert

Mallika Sherawat: Isn’t it tough when people judge your character based on some steamy scenes you did?

Atif Aslam has hit a five-digit figure of followers on Twitter. The singer has now crossed 10,000 fans on the microblogging site. Aslam, who is otherwise not very active on Twitter, thanked his followers with a tweet, “So we get the mark of five digits in followers. Thanks.”

Fresh out of rehab and a 13-day stint in jail, Lindsay Lohan returned to Twitter on Thursday — and blasted the paparazzi who have been following her every move.

“Clearly, paparazzi shouldn’t be allowed to take pictures or video while someone’s driving or at a stop light. For everyone’s sake,” Lohan said in her first tweet  after her return.

Last week it was Imran Khan who showed zero interest in Twitter. This week it’s Drew Barrymore but she has different reasons to be indifferent. The actor has no plans to join the microblogging site. She feels people should only use Twitter if they are funny and that she is an “old fashioned girl” when it comes to technology. “I know I am an anomaly, I know everyone else is in love with it, but it’s not for me. I like people who use it for comedy to make people laugh,” said Barrymore.

“If people are making other people laugh and making jokes then that’s awesome. I believe I am quite an old-fashioned girl.”

I’m more than what I play in the movies. Isn’t it tough when people judge your character based on some steamy scenes you did?

In times such as these, there must be no discrimination amongst any citizen of our society as the urgent need is to save lives. I request everyone to help anyone trying to make a productive difference, regardless of each others’ history. Let’s look to the future instead.

Chilling with my friends was so much fun but I need to know when to shut up because my voice feels tired and now I’m on vocal rest.

Relevant and inconsequential banter on Twitter ... has the movie industry contributed to the latter? I know I have.

Salman Khan

Got wished for Eid and was asked if he (sender) was the first one. Start wishing me for my marriage, children, grand children, 75th birthday etc now.
