While the account is good for a bit of laughs, fans of the actress will still have to wait for her to join Twitter as her manager has recently released a statement that Rani Mukerji is not yet on any form of social media.

Indian news agency IANS quoted Rani's Mukerji manager as saying, "Rani Mukerji is not on any social media platform and has never been in the past. There are several imposters who are operating various handles in her name so, we request you to disregard the same."
