Blue tick gone, this is how Amitabh, Shahid Kapoor and Sachin Tendulkar reacted
Live MintAs Twitter wound down its legacy verified program several prominent personalities have seen their blue checkmarks vanish overnight. But while a verification mark is hardly the only factor setting Bachchan's account apart, fake handles imitating the actor have indeed become a tad more active since the blue tick disappeared. “Mere blue tick ko kisne touch kiya… Elon, tu wahi ruk main aaraha hu, you stay there, I am coming),” joked actor Shahid Kapoor. Other B-town celebrities including Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt, politicians CM Yogi Adityanath, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi and cricketers Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are among those lost their verified blue ticks this week. Currently the only individual Twitter users who have verified blue checkmarks are those paying for Twitter Blue, which costs USD 8/month via the web and USD 11/month through the in-app payment on iOS and Android.
