Many Bollywood celebrities such as Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, Alia Bhatt and others have lost their verified blue ticks on Twitter
On Thursday, Twitter removed legacy verified blue ticks from all accounts that don’t pay a monthly fee to keep them. Many eminent leaders and Bollywood celebrities including megastar Amitabh Bachchan, superstar Salman Khan, Shah Rukh Khan, Alia Bhatt, comedian Vir Das, Ravi Kishan, Nargis Fakhri among others to cricketers like Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, have lost their verified blue ticks from their official Twitter accounts. Many stars have reacted to losing the blue tick.
Vir tweeted, “I like this world. To verify an artist, buy tickets, not ticks...Bye blue tick. I’m okay with someone impersonating me on twitter. You deal with the things they call me ..How about this? If you like what I’m saying…it’s the real me. If you’re pissed off/offended/looking to take action/going to complain to some sort of metaphorical papa…..this account belongs to an unverified impersonator. Cool?”
I never really come on here. i just noticed I’m no longer verified with that blue thingy. So now everyone with a blue check pays a fee for it. Hmm okay. if anyone can buy it then what’s the point. 🤷🏻♀️
