On Saturday night, Amitabh expressed his excitement. "Thirty million on Twitter. Some joys, some bitter. Looking for words to match the rhyme...hitter, sitter, fitter, litter," he said.

The "Don" star is active on the digital platform, and uses the medium to share updates about his personal and professional life.

Amitabh is currently busy with two films -- "102 Not Out" and "Thugs Of Hindostan".
