Bipasha Basu on Twitter

Following the footsteps of Aamir Khan and Amitabh, Bipasha Basu is all set to join the Twitterverse. The actress will  be sending out her first tweet from her twitter handle @bipsluvurself at 3.30 pm on July 4.

While Karan Johar, Shah Rukh Khan, Salman Khan and Hrithik Roshan are already on the micro-blogging site, Bipasha, like Aamir Khan believes that it is better late than never to join the Twitter gang.

"I think I am a late entrant in twitter-verse, but I am excited to connect with my fans and other people directly. I have realised that Twitter is a good medium for doing so," she told Mid Day.

"You can also know what other personalities are doing, thinking and talking about. It is a good platform to speak your mind," she added.

"I want to discuss my passion, my work and causes I strongly feel for. I also want to follow many people who I admire," Bipasha added. She said she will follow Bill Gates, Barack Obama and Paulo Coelho, among others.

"Though my Twitter id was blocked six months ago, I was contemplating whether to join or not. My first tweet will be on Sunday since my revamped website will also be up I want to go fully digital that day. I will tweet whenever I feel like, may be daily or a couple of times a day," she told the tabloid.

Talking about beau John, she said, "I would like him to join as there is a fake John Abraham with verification on Twitter."
