Mumbai/IBNS: Megastar Amitabh Bachchan Friday posted a funny tweet saying he has paid the subscription fees of Twitter Blue and requested that his blue tick be restored.
He posted the tweet in Awadhi (a language native to Prayagraj and areas around it), asking Twitter to “listen to him”.
Besides Bachchan, several other Bollywood celebrities including Shah Rukh Khan lost their verified check after Twitter removed them from accounts missed to have paid their monthly subscription service.
The removal of the blue tick began on Thursday, as per the date announced by Twitter chief Elon Musk.
“T 4623 – Hey Twitter! Are you listening? I have paid for the subscription service… so please put back the blue lotus in front of my name, so that people know that I am Amitabh Bachchan. I am making the request with folded hands… now should I fall at your feet?” Bachchan said in his tweet.
The tweet became a massive hit on the microblogging platform with users posting equally funny replies.
“Mr Bachchan, he (Elon Musk) is a foreigner, never listens to anyone. You will have to wait for a few days,” a user commented.
Due to the recent development, politicians like Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi and cricketers like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma among others have also lost their verified blue ticks from their Twitter accounts.
