Following the loss of his blue tick verification mark on Twitter, Shahid Kapoor reacts in a humorous way. Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter, declared on April 11 that Twitter users would no longer see the venerable blue markers as of April 20. Shahid is one of several famous people who lost their verification since they didn’t pay the membership fee that is now required to keep the verification.

Shahid Kapoor is on his way to beat Elon Musk for his blue tick, a user of the microblogging platform playfully tagged a photo of Shahid from a scene in Kabir Singh.
Shahid retweeted the image and added his well-known line from the same Kabir Singh scene, in which he chases after the person who touches his lover, Kiara Advani, who plays the role. Mere blue tick ko kisne touch kiya, Shahid wrote. Tu wahi ruk main aara hoon, alone. Who dares to touch my blue tick, I ask you? “Elon Musk” I’m heading your way.” Fans are inconsolable at his tweet.
“Shahid, we are on the same boat now,” one of them said. Another person chimed in, “Omg Shahid save us from this drama making the app a mess. Elon will likely be on a spaceship or rocket, so if you want to catch him, move quickly and stop tweeting, someone else added.
As Twitter removed the blue mark emblem from accounts that did not pay membership fees, a number of celebrities, including Rahul Gandhi, Shah Rukh Khan, and Salman Khan, lost their verified blue ticks on their Twitter accounts. Along with Shahid, other well-known people who lost their verification badges included Ajay Devgn, Aiya Bhatt, Akshay Kumar, Kajol, Madhuri Dixit, Anushka Sharma, and Anil Kapoor.
In 2009, Twitter launched the blue tick system. It was seen as a status signal to have a blue tick. Elon Musk, who paid USD 44 billion for Twitter in October, has changed that, and the social media platform now charges a user a monthly subscription. 650 more are available online. to keep their mobile device verification status on 900 devices current.
Amitabh Bachchan spoke about it earlier in the day. He revealed, “A Twitter bhaiya, T4623 Do you hear me? To aap jo neel kamal (green tick emoticon) hot hi na, humar naam ke aage, u to wapas lagaye, ab to paisa bhi bhar diya hai hum.” Brother, hand it along so that everyone will know we are Amitabh Bachchan. Hello Twitter, dude? Now that I’ve also given the money, is it a blue mark as well? So that people would know I’m the genuine Amitabh Bachchan, put it back, bro. I’m here with my hands in my lap. May I now also stoop to my knees?””
