Amitabh Bachchan @SrBachchan

Clearly, the man is the biggest superstar in India for a reason. Meticulous, articulate and absolutely humble, it is no surprise that Amitabh Bachchan has 714,679 followers at last count.

There is a number before each of his tweets, indicating the number of days he has been tweeting. For instance, his last few tweets have T344 written before them, which means they've been posted on Day 344.

Over the recent years, Bachchan has used the new media to reach out to his fans and make his voice heard without having journalists edit his words or sound bites.

Bachchan's tweets are eloquent and insightful. He quotes everyone from his father the late Pt Harivanshrai Bachchan to Rupert Murdoch.

Sometimes, when he's in the mood, he even tweets in Devnagri!

Bachchan, however, doesn't always respond to a lot of tweets. There are a few of his favourites to whom he writes at regular intervals. But he does sporadically pick tweets mentioning him and makes sure to write back to his fans.
