Elon Musk's Twitter removed 'Blue Ticks' from the verified accounts of famous personalities today. Big names like Bill Gates, Hillary Clinton, Shah Rukh Khan, Virat Kohli, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas were among the 4 lakh users who on Friday lost their Twitter Blue ticks. Now, Big B has taken to his Twitter to demand his blue tick back as he has already paid for the same.

Amitabh Bachchan in a hilarious tweet asked Twitter and Elon Musk to put back the blue tick as he wrote in a typical desi style. His tweet read, "Ae Twitter bhaiya! Sun rahe hain?
