In an amusing display of Twitter affection, Bollywood reached out to Hollywood. Yes, we are talking about the mutual love and admiration Salman Khan and Sly Stallone showered on each other. Salman fans were in for a surprise on Friday night, when Bhai tweeted in admiration of Stallone. What followed next launched the social media website into frenzy. It all started with this tweet.
But what was Bhai thinking when he tweeted this? We searched through his Twitter history to put things in context, but in vain.
Soon after Stallone posted the following:
While all hearts stopped the moment Stallone expressed his desire to work with Salman, Bhai seemed unfazed. He continued talking about his work and asking his fans to follow him, and realised that he doesn’t follow Stallone on Twitter.
Finally, Stallone decided to end this mutual back-patting and signed off . But little did he expect that he would get into this:
Salman Khan refused to take that hint, and went on and on.
This was the first time ever that Sylvester Stallone’s tweet has been retweeted favourited so many times. Thanks to Bhai, his phone must have hung after this, with followers and fans bombarding him with questions.
There, he did it. This four word sentence was enough to make headlines for at least a week!
