Shahrukh Khan joins Twitter, receives great welcome

It seems Twitter is too much a temptation to resist and that too for the celebrities across the world who are joining this social networking fraternity. Bollywood Actor Shah Rukh Khan is the recent inclusion in the Twitter family as the superstar made his tweeting debut on Saturday from his Twitter id @iamsrk.

It was a real surprise for the King Khan fans as he tweeted for the first time. His first tweet reads, "hi everyone. being extremely shy i never thought i would be here. but my friend @kjohar25 insisted that i should learn to share my life." Karan Johar, one of the most popular directors in Bollywood and a close friend of SRK is an ardent twitterer and a much experienced one than the debutant. It was Karan Johar who for the first time notified the tweeple about Shah Rukh Khan joining Twitter. SRK's admirer and the ruling Bollywood actress Priyanaka Chopra was soon to respond as she tweets, "Pls welcome my most favorite actor ever..SRK @iamsrk !! So glad ure here!! Show some love twitterverse!!".

She was followed by actress Genelia D'Souza who gave a warm welcome to SRK as she says, "..wat a lovely mrng to wake up n c shahrukh on twitter.. Welcome shahrukh @iamsrk : )" The King Khan, with his usual modesty conveyed his wishes to the tweeple and added that he didn't expect such a warm welcome from all. In less than 12 hours the master actor has got close to 7000 followers under his belt and his follower count is growing evidently fast. His presence on twitter seems to be a motivation for the tweeple as one of them admits, "yipeeeeee finally some motivation to be regular on Twitter". While some of the Shah Rukh fans gave "king size welcome" to twitterverse, some of them went on to approach the actor with their promotional plans. One of the twitterers have rightly kept his fingers crossed as he contemplated "how fast the followers of @iamsrk climb up ... will it break ur record @priyankachopra @ShashiTharooor".

Apart from showering love on SRK, his demanding fans have already started asking him for a nice profile pic and replying to their tweets. The actor must be having some engaging sessions interacting with his followers and meeting their demands.
