In a hilarious tweet, Amitabh Bachchan has demanded his Twitter Blue Tick back after the social media platform removed the verified status from his account along with thousands of other famous personalities. The legendary Bollywood actor took to Twitter to demand his Blue Tick back and humorously asked Twitter and Elon Musk to put it back as he had already paid for the same. His tweet read, "Ae Twitter bhaiya! Sun rahe hain? Ab to paise bhi bhar diye hain hum ... to o jo neel kamal (tick) hot rahe na, hmar naam ke aage, o wapas lagai de bhaiya, take log jaan jaye ki hum hi hain- Amitabh Bachchan .. hath to jod liye rahe hum! Ab ka, godwa jode padi ka?? which meant "Hey Twitter! Are you listening? Now I have paid the money too... so put back that blue tick, so that people know that it is me - Amitabh Bachchan .. have already folded hands, do I have to join the feet as well??"
The removal of the Blue Tick on Twitter came after Elon Musk announced the date to press users to sign up for Twitter Blue, its paid subscription service. Several Bollywood celebrities like Alia Bhatt, Shah Rukh Khan, and cricketers Sachin Tendulkar and Rohit Sharma also lost their verified status. Elon Musk has offered complimentary Twitter Blue subscriptions to some celebrities to retain the Blue Ticks.
