Aamir joins Twitter

Aamir Khan officially joined Twitter Thursday and got 47,019 fans in just two hours, surpassing even Amitabh Bachchan.

While Big B, who convinced his young colleague to join the social networking site, got 37,500 followers on his first day of tweeting, Aamir seems set to overtake him.

Aamir, 45, sent his first tweet last night, "Testing: Aamir".

This morning he joined Twitter officially and said in his first message: Bhala gardish falak ki chain deti hai kise Insha, ganimat hai ke hum surat yahan do-chaar baithey hain. Esp for you sir. Love. Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Love. Aamir."

Amitabh had persuaded Aamir to join Twitter when they met over a casual dinner in London some time back. He even taught him how to send tweets through phone. After much persuasion, Aamir finally agreed.

Amitabh welcomed him saying, "Thank you Aamir... You give more due than I deserve ... Happy Tweeting ...."

Aamir may come on Twitter: Big B

Aamir Khan is considering to join Twitter after megastar Amitabh Bachchan tried to persuade him to do so.

Amitabh posted on his Twitter page. “Success come to those that dare and act!! Convinced the inconvincible Aamir over dinner to come on Twitter.”

Big B affirmed that Aamir will be on site soon and posted a picture of them on the site with the caption – “With Aamir at dinner, Italian, good food and the smile on his face is his excitement of being convinced to come on Twitter”.
