I love keeping a tab on leading stars of Bollywood and what they are upto on social media sites like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook etc. Be it selfies, inspirational quotes or pictures from behind-the-scenes, the who’s who of B-town likes to keep their fans updated about everything. The popularity of a star on these sites depends on the kind of stuff they post. I’m a sucker for Sonam Kapoor’s gorgeous poses in her chic style statements, Akshay Kumar’s ‘Khiladi’ pictures and so on.
