Priyanka Chopra realised that her blue tick was back on her Twitter account while promoting her newest series, Garh. The star joked in a tweet that she wasn’t sure how it occurred, but now that it had, she felt like herself once more. All verified Twitter users lost their legacy blue ticks on April 20 and could no longer receive them without purchasing a Twitter Blue subscription. Yet, it appears that many accounts have the blue tick restored even though subscribers have not paid.
