What's Tweeting?

More and more Bollywood celebrities are turning to social networking sites, not just to connect with their fans, their friends and family, but also to raise awareness for various movements and causes. One of the most popular social networking sites they turn to is Twitter, and we at BollyCurry realize that not all our readers have the time to maintain an account or follow these popular celebs, which is why we have come up with What's Tweeting?, where we shall update you on how interestingly our Bollywood celebrities take their tweeting job!

Alia Bhatt @aliaa08 Feb 2015 

#BeWithBeti @anuranjan1010 @Akansharanjan @anushka0110

Twitter and other social media sites were recently flooded with images of stars showing their support for the Be With Beti Campaign, which had been started as a stand against female infanticide. Over the years, the campaign has spread massive awareness, and even branched out to lend help to the victims of acid attacks, domestic violence and other such atrocities. Alia Bhatt was one of those stars who stood with them and these pictures have gone viral. (Other stars such as Varun Dhawan, Neil Nitin Mukesh and Vaani Kapoor have taken to their Twitter and Instagram accounts as well.) Here's hoping that more and more people choose to take this stand.

Deepika Padukone @deepikapadukone Dec 2014

Anxiety, Depression and Panic Attacks are not a sign of weakness. They are signs of trying to remain strong for way too long.

As the year 2014 came to a close, Deepika Padukone opened up about the depression she suffered, and has taken a stand in advocating for mental health awareness. On December 31st, she tweeted a series of tweets in order to highlight the suffering of those going through mental health issues and urged them to believe that they were not alone. She will be working towards improving the mental health scenario in India throughout the year, and already has brought a team on board. She also tweeted that she will be dedicating the year to supporting mental health awareness. All we can say is, good luck Deepika, and we wish you all the best.

Twinkle Khanna @mrsfunnybones Feb 2015

we have no need to wrap 12 strands of hair around her head to pretend that we are not bald just delusional #WhyWomenAreBetterThanMen

The hashtag #WhyWomenAreBetterThanMen is full of people either being serious or factitious, but we have to say, Twinkle Khanna takes the cake with her few tweets on the subject. Her twitter is full of sarcasm and tongue-in-cheek humor and gems such as the above tweet are just the tip of the iceberg. We don't know why she is not doing stand-up, when she is obviously quite the witty one. But we are definitely going to keep following her!
