Aamir Khan joins, sets Twitter ablaze

After much persuasion from megastar Amitabh Bachchan, Bollywood actor-producer Aamir Khan has finally joined micro-blogging website Twitter. Aamir was supposed to join Twitter on July 1 but made a surprise entry on June 30.

Karan Johar welcomed the actor saying, '@aamir_khan on twitterverse people!!!' Aamir's first tweet said, "Testing. Aamir." The actor has 51000 followers within 23 hours of joining the website. The perfectionist actor, though, is only following the Big B. He tweets a ?sher? after 22 hours saying, ?Bhala gardish falak ki chain deti hai kise Insha, ganimat hai ke hum surat yahan do-chaar baithey hain. Esp for you sir. Love?.

Meanwhile, Big B welcomed Aamir by tweeting: "@aamir_khanAamir You have been tried and tested! Welcome! And thank you for agreeing to come on board! Now handle it, brother!"

And going by Aamir Khan's popularity, it seems he will set a record in cyberspace that will be difficult for many celebrities to surpass. Watch out, SRK, Salman!
