New Delhi: Bollywood star Aamir Khan says he will soon post his first message on microblogging site Twitter but before that he plans to do a live chat on Facebook to keep the impostors at bay.
"I`ve been using Facebook a lot... the problem is anyone can be an impostor on the Internet. So I am thinking of a live chat on Facebook so that people will at least know it`s me and not some impostor," said Aamir here.
And the reason for the actor`s concern is genuine.
"I have close to 300,000 friends on Facebook... I stay in touch with my friends and fans there and both of us know each other," he said.
Looking dapper in a jet black Chinese collar suit, the 45-year-old was in the capital Wednesday, in a younger than ever avatar, to launch two new smartphones - Samsung Wave and Samsung Galaxy S.
Aamir is the brand ambassador of Samsung.
Asked about joining Twitter, as advised by none other than the Big B, he said: "Since Amitji has asked me to join Twitter, I guess I will soon have to be on the social scene as he has got that kind of voice, I just can`t say no to him. But I don`t know how regular I`ll be on Twitter.
"Amitji showed me the functions of Twitter when we were in London and right now I am just trying to understand it. I`ll send my first tweet soon."
