It was as if Kamal Haasan fans were eagerly waiting for the actor to come live on Twitter as the “Universal Hero” got more than 34,000 twitter followers, barely 24 hours after he joined the micro-blogging website.
Kamal made his grant entry into Twitter on the eve of India’s 67th Republic Day and the first one to welcome him to the world of tweets was his daughter and actress Shruthi Hassan who wrote on Kamal Haasan’s Twitter wall “One of the happiest moments ever on Twitter !!!! Welcome my most favourite person @ikamalhaasan to twitter !!! Love you appa”
Kamal’s first tweet read “India’s freedom struggle remains unique even today. Respecting it is d only way to keep it & set new world standards”. The tweet is accompanied by a video of Kamal singing the National Anthem.
Interestingly, his twitter handle “@ikamalhassan” got verified within a few hours after his first tweet and now it has crossed over 34,000 followers.
