The Twitter account of Bollywood's biggest superstar Amitabh Bachchan may have been hacked into.
A tweet from the actor's official Twitter account (@SrBachchan) says, "WHOA !..My Twitter handle hacked ! Sex sites planted as 'following' ! Whoever did this, try someone else, buddy, I don't need this !"
An immediate press release through his agency also confirmed the same.
It isn't always necessary for an account to be hacked into for it to follow random accounts.
Sometimes it may also happen because of apps that allow access by users to their Twitter accounts.
A cursory check of the 984 accounts that Bachchan is following on Twitter indicates that the offending 'sex sites' have since been unfollowed.
Bachchan has the highest number of Twitter followers in India ahead of actor Shah Rukh Khan, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and actor Salman Khan.
