Amitabh Bachchan threatens to quit Twitter after losing the most-followed tag to SRK and the internet can’t keep calm

We all know how much Amitabh Bachchan loves being on Twitter. The megastar takes the medium so seriously that forget the number of tweets that he posts in day, he also attaches images of himself with every tweet, just to ensure that nobody misses out on noticing his face. Like that’s the kind of obsession he’s had in all these years, until yesterday when Twitter decided to declare him less followed than Shah Rukh Khan. Yes, Sr Bachchan, who has been clinching the top spot on the most followed Indian actor on Twitter’s annual list, year after year, unexpectedly lost out on the title this year to SRK with a matter of just few lakhs of followers. But obviously, he is disheartened and no, it’s not just because he’s a step back from Shah Rukh but because he feels Twitter deleted his number of followers which by his record should be over 33 million.

And then came the amusing tweet with Sr Bachchan threatening to quit Twitter saying, “T 2599 – TWITTER ..!!!?? you reduced my number of followers .. !!??HAHAHAHAHAHAHA .. !! thats 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 !!” Not to mention, he even added a picture from his film Hum where he is choking a bad guy, going perfectly with the context of the words. Here, check out the tweet below:

Where Amitabh is clearly very upset with the fact he’s no longer the Twitter king. Look how the internet is reacting to his amusing tweet. Starting with his army of fans who are equally angered by the forge in the number of followers to the ones who are trolling him for being “insecure” of SRK…here…you can see it all below:

We heart you Amitabh Bachchan even if Shah Rukh’s fans are having the last laugh…

Interestingly, a few are also trying to figure why the difference in the number of followers by picking on the stats.

We can’t wait to see how Twitter will retain one of its most valuable users! Or you never know, what if Amitabh Bachchan is doing this all in the jest of it? FYI: Amitabh is currently back at par with SRK on Twitter, by clocking 39 million followers each.
