Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor had a comical reaction to losing the blue tick verification from his Twitter account. The announcement was made by Twitter CEO Elon Musk on April 11, and Shahid Kapoor responded in a humorous manner.
The blue tick verification system on Twitter
Twitter introduced the blue check mark system in 2009 to verify the authenticity of high-profile accounts. The blue tick was considered a status symbol, as it indicated that the account was verified and belonged to the person it claimed to be. This was particularly important for celebrities and public figures who often face impersonation on social media platforms.
Shahid Kapoor’s hilarious Reaction
After Elon Musk announced that Twitter users would lose the legacy blue marks from April 20, a user shared a picture of Shahid Kapoor from his blockbuster hit film, Kabir Singh. The user jokingly captioned the picture with “Shahid Kapoor on his way to thrash Elon Musk for his Blue tick.”
Shahid Kapoor reposted the tweet and added his famous dialogue from the same scene of the film where he comes on a bike as an angry young man. He wrote: “Mere blue tick ko kisne touch kiya… Elon, tu wahi ruk main aaraha hu. Haha (who has dared to touch my blue tick?… Elon Musk, I am coming for you).”
The actor’s hilarious reaction has since gone viral on social media, with fans sharing the post and adding their own humorous comments. The reference to his character from Kabir Singh has made the post even more relatable and entertaining for fans.
Twitter’s premium subscription service
Under Elon Musk, who bought Twitter for $44 billion in October, the social media service is now charging users a monthly fee of $8.00 for the web or $11.00 USD per month for iOS. Musk has been trying to boost the struggling platform’s revenue by pushing more people to pay for a premium subscription.
The premium subscription service offers features such as an ad-free experience, the ability to undo tweets, and the option to change the app’s theme to a darker color scheme. Musk has also hinted at the possibility of introducing a verification system that would allow users to earn a blue tick by proving their identity through a verification process.
