Stars and their virtual skills

25 July, 2012

With a 24x7 access to social networking sites likes Facebook and Twitter through tablets and smartphones, stars make sure that their fans are updated both about their real and reel life. Literally maintaining two lifestyles - actual and virtual, these stars in spite of their hectic schedules take to these platforms to update their fans.

THE VIRTUAL world has become almost like a parallel universe and people are more concerned about getting their Facebook status' right than actually leading their real lives. The stars are not far behind as they are constantly maintaining their virtual life with their actual life.

As was reported by NNIS, there are actors who constantly keep their fans in constant touch with the realities of their life - whether they are shooting, meeting a Hollywood star or binging on their favorite yogurt, everything is on Twitter or Facebook.

Twitter is a favourite among the Bollywood stars. Right from promotion of their films, shows to trailers the micro blogging site has seen various aspects of the Indian film industry. To rank stars in order of their popularity and visibility on Twitter would not be difficult.

Bipasha Basu, the Bengali bombshell keeps in constant touch with her fans and is ranked as the fifth actor to be most visible in her virtual life. In spite of hectic schedule, she always likes to log on to Twitter at least once a day irrespective of the fact whether she is in India or abroad. The fourth most popular star on Twitter is our very own Bollywood bad boy Salman Khan. Twitter lights up with his humor and jokes as well as his sarcasm. Whether it is his dialogues or his charity 'Being Human' doing some good work, he likes to keep everyone updated about his image.

The sultry Priyanka Chopra, who is the number third in this list is perhaps the most deft user of Twitter. She has not only acquired a huge (26.14 lakh) fan following on Twitter but incessantly tweets about her films, associations and gives her fans a taste of her life. She was the one about whom Victoria Beckham tweeted when she wore her creation and she was also the one to promote an automobile company by mentioning about it on Twitter.

Shahrukh Khan, the king of Bollywood is also the king of marketing as he uses the Twitter platform to the best of his use. In spite of the fact that appearance of his tweets oscillates like a pendulum, his 26.60 lakh fans still wait for his tweets on everything under the sun.

Amitabh Bachchan is the supremo Uno in the ranking as he is an actor, who is almost double the age of the latest generation of actors yet has a Twitter account and has a very popular blog as well. Most of all his day-to-day life is known from both these sources and he likes to keep his fans updated.
