"Yipee. . I am on Twitter. . And you can follow me on . . @srbachchan . .love as always . .," informed the superstar to all his fans via his blog post entry.

Interestingly, Big B so far is following only two people--cricket legend Sachin Tendulakar and his son Abhishek Bachchan, who’s a Twitter regular for some time. Big B sent out his first message to his son Abhi.

“Hey baby!! I made it on twitter!!! Yeeaaaaaahhhh!! ... Sorry... Just got carried away... Safe onward flight and love,” wrote Big B in his message to Abhi.

Now that Big B, too, has joined the Twitter, what’s left to see is if Jaya Bachchan will join her family online any time soon. Abhishek and wife Aishwarya, like many other celebrities, are already on Twitter.

Amitabh’s first tweet to his fans
Amitabh’s first message to his son confirmed that he’s excited to have finally joined the Twitter bandwagon. So after posting message for his son he went on to post his first ever tweet to his fans.

“Hello!! Twitterati ... you beautiful people! Cannot express the excitement! Shanouk my Piranha Dane thinks he is about to get an ice-cream,” read Amitabh’s post.

Abhishek confirmed Big B’s presence on Twitter
After seeing Amitabh’s name on Twitter, initially people were not convinced that blog lover Big B has joined the micro-blogging site.

But after getting requests from people to confirm this new development, Abhishek via a post confirmed his father’s presence on Twitter.

"Welcome Pa". Ladies and gentlemen. HE IS HERE! Big B in da house!" read Abhi’s post on Twitter.

Ever since this confirmation, Big B has managed to score around 30,491 followers. And keeping in mind the extent of his popularity, the number of followers is only expected to increase by the day.
