Sooraj Pancholi Returns to Twitter
Actor Sooraj Pancholi is back on Twitter after deleting his account last year following the controversy surrounding his father and actor Aditya Pancholi and actress Kangana Ranaut. Announcing his return on Twitter, Sooraj tweeted: "Hello everyone. So here's the first tweet from my official handle! Feels good to be back on Twitter! Missed you guys."
He is now available on Twitter with username @Sooraj9pancholi. Singer Armaan Malik welcomed the actor on Twitter saying, hero is back.
Sooraj quit Twitter in 2017 after Kangana imposed allegations on his father for physically abusing her during her initial days in the industry. Kangana's allegations did not go down well with Sooraj as her fans started targeting him and his sister Sana on social media. Sooraj and Sana are the children of Aditya and actress Zarina Wahab.
