Superstar Aamir Khan has as many as 20.9 million followers
on Twitter and is the most followed Indian on the Chinese microblogging site
Weibo. But the megastar believes in communicating with fans through his films
rather than taking the social media route as he says he is "not very
communicative".
After breaking records at the Chinese box office with his
latest Bollywood offering "Dangal", he became the most followed
Indian on Weibo this month.
Asked if he would become more active on social networking
sites now, Aamir told in Malta, "The fact is I am not the kind of person
who is active on social media. I don't think that will change. Once in a while,
I go online and say something.
"Right now I am in Malta for 'Thugs of Hindostan'. My
entire focus is on the film. It's difficult to come out of that. I also believe
that my major communication with fans in India or anywhere else is through my
work. That's how I communicate with my audiences."
"I just feel that's the kind of person I am. Social
media is a wonderful platform to connect with people. It's a great platform.
But each one of us has a different personality. I am not a very communicative
person in that sense. So, I've never been active on social media, and I don't
think it will change."
However, his fan following just keeps growing, especially
after "Dangal", which saw Aamir essay a retired wrestler encouraging
his daughters to take up the sport that's dominated by men.
