Celebrities lose their Twitter verification, Twitterattis react with hilarity

Twitter is a social media platform that is widely used by celebrities and public figures to interact with their fans and promote their brand. Recently, Twitter announced that it would remove the verified check-mark status from accounts that were verified as noteworthy unless they had purchased Twitter Blue or the business-focused Twitter Verified Organizations plan.

As a result, many Indian and worldwide celebrities, including Alia Bhatt, Amitabh Bachchan, Virat Kohli, and MS Dhoni, lost their blue ticks on Twitter, causing a stir on Twitterattis.

The news has generated a lot of reactions from Twitter users, with some expressing shock and disbelief, while others are using the opportunity to make memes and jokes at the expense of the affected accounts. Many Twitter users have taken to the platform to share their reactions to the news.

In a surprising turn of events, Elon Musk, the owner of Twitter, took to Twitter to share that he is "personally paying" the Twitter Blue subscriptions of some celebrities to keep their coveted blue verification check mark on their Twitter accounts. Among the celebrities mentioned were William Shatner, Lebron James, and Stephen King.
