“17 MILLION!!! FOLLOWERS!!! Thank you all Ef and non Ef and to be Ef…thank you all that compliment me, and those that abuse too,” the 72-year-old, who refers to his social media followers as “Ef — Extended family”, posted on Twitter late Sunday night.
He then also posted images of his fans, who throng outside his house for a glimpse of the actor.
“17 Million!!! Yeaaaaaahhhhhhhh!! and more than that the well wishers of Sunday today!! Blessed beyond,” added the actor, whose over four decades of work in Bollywood and global recognition has earned him the epithet of Indian cinema’s ‘Shahenshah’.
