Right from the inception of social media has come into power, people use it as a strong medium or tool to voice their opinions. Not only common people, even politicians, celebrities are active on few micro-blogging sites. While some choose these platforms only to stick to promoting something and posting their photos, others take it a serious place to express their views regarding social issues.
One can follow his favorite actor/actress/celebrity and can also express his/her personal feelings with them. Film stars are some of the biggest entertainers in this world. They don a talent of making people happy, sad and angry with their wonderful acting and earn lakhs and lakhs of followers. The count of these followers and fans hint the power of a star.
Earlier, there was no way to judge the power of an actor except through the Box Office. But now, we have many ways to rate the power of an actor. One method that is prominent is the count of social media. Nowadays, several brands go behind a star’s social media hype before giving him/her endorsements.
One of the great superstars of Bollywood Amitabh Bachchan is known for his excellent screen presence and his voice. And he is one person who doesn’t need an introduction. He is one of the most followed celebrities on social media, especially on Twitter. However, the Big B has reportedly, decided to quit Twitter after his fan following suddenly went 33 million to 32.9 million.
Reportedly, Amitabh Bachchan didn’t like losing out his throne and hence wrote the tweet.
Amitabh Bachchan took to Twitter and gave the warning of quitting the micro-blogging site. He wrote, “T 2599 – TWITTER..!!!?? you reduced my number of followers .. !!??HAHAHAHAHAHAHA .. !! that’s a joke .. time to get off from you .. thank you for the ride .. 😠😠😠 .. there are many ‘other’ fish in the sea – and a lot more exciting!!”

Whether or not he is really quitting Twitter is yet to be known. Even if he does so, it would surely leave his fans shocked. Big B had touched 30 million followers on the micro-blogging site last year in October. He is currently having 33 million followers on Twitter. As Twitter decreased his followers, Shah Rukh Khan got the benefit and ended up being the most popular Bollywood star so far on Twitter with followers just more than Big B.
At this moment, Amitabh Bachchan’s total follower count is 32,094,940 and Shah Rukh Khan has 33,000,050. Big B, 74, who has given hits like Sholay, Deewar, Paa, Baghban, Bhoothnath, Black, and Piku, is ahead of stars like Salman Khan (30.7 million), Aamir Khan (22.8 million), Priyanka Chopra (21.6 million) and Deepika Padukone (23 million).
There are also reports, which tell that Amitabh Bachchan’s account has seen a reduction in followers due to the regular cleanup of inactive/fake followers.
