Mumbai: Call it the biggest battle of Bollywood or the clash of Titans, for Salman Khan finally edged his arch-rival Shah Rukh Khan on Twitter. Bollywood’s original ‘enfant terrible’ Salman Khan joined Twitter ‘BeingSalmanKhan’, on Tuesday, the very day on which Shah Rukh Khan completed hundred days on the popular microblogging site. On the very first day, within a short span of six hours, Salman amassed as many followers as SRK did in the first day. Post twenty-four hours his first tweet, Salman had a strong following of 18,833 fans in comparison to Shah Rukh’s 10,000 followers. In his maiden tweet, Salman posted, “Arbaaz ne kaha ke tweet kar, toh banta hai boss.” His next read, “Challo nw , whoever was being me, party over, baju hatto plz.” Last Tuesday, Salman tweeted, “Thanx guys! Feels good. Promise to tweet, ek baar jo maine commitment kar di.” Even though the superstar is followed by hoards of B-town celebs, Salman is following just two people on Twitter, brother Arbaaz and ‘Dabangg’ co-star Sonakshi Sinha. Meanwhile, praising Salman Khan, Riteish Deshmukh tweeted, “Hey a big shout out to the best looking man. Give him all the love tweeps” while Bollywood newbie Sonam Kapoor tweeted, “Welcome... had the privilege of working with him on my first film.”
