Any Idea Why #RahulKhanna is Trending on Twitter?

Have you received a DM from Rahul Khanna?

Rahul Khanna has been trending all-day long on Twitter today, but curiously, nobody knows why. Thus, people have been continuously asking the same question on Twitter which has probably further fuelled the fire.

I know #RahulKhanna is hot, but why is he trending? What's the story?

#RahulKhanna is trending on twitter because people are asking "Why Is Rahul Khanna trending on twitter?" (Social Media in Nutshell)

So WHY is he trending? Let me begin from the beginning (sic). Years back, Rahul Khanna used to reply to people who tweeted him through Direct Messages (DMs). Lately, this girl dug out this particular tweet and DM and re-posted it on Twitter. And a lot of people suddenly realised that they too have received DMs from Khanna.

P.S. Rahul Khanna used to reply to compliments on DM AGES AGO when there were a little fewer people following him.
