Shahrukh Khan On Twitter? Probably Fake

Just sometime ago I had written about Mallika Sherawat and Gul Panag being on twitter, however those profiles are absolutely true and real, unlike many of the other parked handles used by hoax persons for different bollywood superstars.

Just came across a profile on twitter that is supposedly from Shahrukh Khan himself, however there is no real way to confirm this, the so called Shahrukh twitter profile can be followed at @shahrukh_khan.

Most of the tweets are vague, some are related to his work, however that kind of information can be easily obtained by a simple search on Google.

The surprising thing about the Shahrukh Khan profile is that, he seems to be following more people than those who follow him back, this is however a bit strange for other big celebrities on twitter, who are not known to follow back a whole lot of people.

Also Shahrukh's profile was created back in August 2008, however the first tweet was only on Jan 28th this year. I must say at that point twitter was not that awfully popular, leave alone a celebrity puller, so the big question mark of it being a fake account rises tremendously.

The profile in itself has been pretty vague, and only links to Shahrukh's company Red Chillies Entertainment with no profile info provided.

Another few things that make me more inclined towards the twitter account is that, there are no mentions whatsoever of Kolkata Knight Riders in any of the tweets, except for a link to a twitter account which may again be fake.

And the final nail in the coffin was this tweet.

Now why the hell would Shahrukh Khan himself want to know which CMS system to use, considering that he is not tech savvy, I certainly do not understand why he would be asking that question on twitter, I would certainly not raise my eyebrows if he would have asked which actress best suited him in the form of "Juhi or Kajol?"

What do you think? Is this profile for real or just another fake one? No matter what, I have not seen Shahrukh Khan have a online presence yet, no websites or profiles anywhere, which does make my inclination to it being a fake a little bit more.
