I see 10 less people who loved me .. is there a glitch in your software or something else .. it’s is an observation . Not a complaint …. Better things to worry about … than Twitter followers.”

Anupam had tweeted, “Dear @Twitter and @TwitterIndia! I have 80,000 less followers in the last 36 hours! Is there a glitch in your app or something else is happening!! It is an observation. Not a complaint….. yet.:).”

One fan of the veteran actor commented, “If suddenly your numbers go down abruptly to a zero let’s say … won’t you have question in mind … and is it two wrong of a person to ask ? How does that change anything about great people and thinking wise ????? Let’s just say that you are dragging his name to get some attention…. right.”
