Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan has created Twitter India history, as he surpassed Prime Minister Narendra Modi to post the most retweeted tweet by an Indian.
SRK posted a picture with former ‘One Direction’ member Zayn Malik, when the two met at ‘The Asian Awards’ in London last week.
The photo tweet has been retweeted more than 105,000 times and favourited more than 146,000 times on Twitter.
Khan won an award for his ‘Outstanding Contribution to Cinema’, while Zayn Malik was honoured for his ‘Outstanding Contribution to Music’.
The second most retweeted tweet was Narendra Modi’s victory announcement on Twitter saying “India has won”. That was retweeted 73,000 times with 48,000 favourites. Shahrukh has not only beaten Modi’s famous tweet, but has also become the first Indian to receive more than 100,000 retweets.

India has won! ???? ?? ????? ????? ??? ??? ???? ????
— Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) May 16, 2014
It has to be noted that Zayn Malik, whose tweets sometimes receive more than 650,000 retweets, had retweeted Shahrukh Khan on Twitter.
But yes one can’t underestimate Salman’s following on twitter,though he uses his twitter like a rough copy,still he gets lots of RTs and fav.
Salman,Srk along with Virat kohli are ruling twitter these days!
Virat had around 6 million followers few weeks back and only God knows what magic he did that his followers have multiplied..he has now 9.56M followers surpassing hrithik,akshay!!
@bulli fan, LOL..
@imam, if awards make someone greater/bigger then Shahid & kangana are greater/bigger than king because they got most of the awards this year over king…..LOL.
@ Tiger :
Not being called at any award show is too humiliating considering 5 consecutive Blockbusters … lol
who is he?? he is the KING KHAN
sapno ko mumkin karna hi toh MARD o ki poehchan hai
Wow SRK Did It Again..A New Indian Record,thanks to Zayn too
For Those who Thinks this happened only because of Zayn lol are u fool or blind???
SRK already had got 40k+ RT & Fav before Zayn Retweeted that Tweet so stop talking nonsense… Zayn Himself and His sister are Srk Fans,even Jay sean is a SRK fan..Enough Said…No Doubt on SRK’s popularity across the world
One More Point..
SRK didn’t Mentioned Zayn in that tweet nor he follows Zayn..It was Zayn who was out of Twitter for most days and came back to Twitter aftet Asian Awards and Retweeted the tweet in which he wasn’t even mentioned…Zayn also Retweeted another tweet mentioning SRK..So Come to conclusion yourself if u are intelligent enough
Definitely last line says it all!! Just saw srk tweets other than this rarely cross even 5000 mark while zayns cross 100k mark in almost all tweets. Its all coz of zayn. Srk fan thinking its coz of their idol are DUMB. U can check its all there.
I recently known about who is zain.I usually know Bollywood ,Hollywood and american singers besides,I hardly known about any other country stars.actually we have to agree may be some 2-3k retweets from any zain fan.this is totally difficult for any star in India to get such retweets.it’s only possible because HE IS KING KHAN—-WORLD’S MOST POPULAR ACTOR,zain couldn’t earn this.
But haters must have answer this simple question—-if all these possible dur to zain fans,then why zain fans checked KING SRK’S tweets if they really don’t know who exactly KING SRK IS? I know the answer you don’t know which.but let me give the answer—-KING KHAN IS MOST POPULAR AMONG ALL,but why still HE have to earn that huge global popularity because till now HE is in bollywood.
This is zayn power not SRK because SRK gets only 2k retweet c
You can give 100 Crore film. 200 Crore Film. 300 Crore Film. But can’t give a longest running film. Because you are not Shah Rukh Khan.
Oh SRKIans Just wait Now our Bhaijan Will click Selfie With “Vina Malik” And it will break all records of RT and Fav’s on TW just wait and watch
Salman Khan – Tweets 41.5k and Followers 11.5M
Shahrukh Khan – Tweets 8372 and Followers 12.6M
Apparently SRK has tweeted 5 times less than his counter-part and have more followers. Why you ask? Simple, because he speaks pure quality and not the random crap that Salman does. Hence stop this absofuckinlutely stupid comparison.
And the point to be noted that his detractors are conveniently forgetting that he was awarded the Global Icon of the year at an international podium which is not a RARE thing for SRK. Seriously his critics need to get a life! #GrowUpDoucheBags
@Tuhin Pal, most of Salman’s tweets were auto generated for promoting one of his films. Real tweets must be less than 500.
Zayn made srk famous.
@sss, u know hollywood singers!! Really?? Can you name a few???
#LOL on the knowledge of king fans.
Indicine team – I think you earnestly need to cross-examine your claim.
If you say his real tweets stand a mere 500 which entails that 41,000 tweets were utilized to promote his films! And seeing his twitter page I can’t help myself but to disagree with you on this one. Most of his ridiculous and bizarre tweets are done by himself. Sorry that we’re on the same page!
@Tuhin, not supporting anyone here. Simply stating facts. Salman sent around 40,000 auto generated tweets to promote ‘Jai Ho’ on Twitter last year. The tweets were “@gala_pankti This Republic Day, remember, you do not need to wear a uniform to serve the country. Jai Ho http://poster.graphity.in/hashtag/jaiho”
Please go to https://twitter.com/BeingSalmanKhan/with_replies and keep scrolling down. You’ll find thousands of tweets that were sent on 27 Jan 2014.
Zayn malik’s tweets get upto 6.5 lakh retweets….. Srk gets a few thousands….. So is there any doubt?
Power of Zayn Malik
A big slap on those who call Srk most popular… LOL Here even a singer is more popular than him.
Ellen DeGeneres posted an Oscar selfie on her twitter page with H’wood stalwarts like Bradley Cooper, Meryl Streep, Brad Pitt and JLaw and it gathered 3,353,106 retweets till date making it the most retweeted photograph ever on Twitter! During the course it broke the record held by Barack Obama for his post-election victory photograph that he tweeted.
She didn’t tag anyone of those mentioned names in her tweet. Now does that question and undermine the stardom of Ellen in any manner? Same is the case with SRK here. And by the time Zayn retweeted it SRK had already garnered over 75K retweets. Haters gonna hate and potatoes gonna potate! I rest my case. #Merci
yeah apparently i too came to know zayn after this event only though heard his name a couple of times but wasnt bothered.
hez smart
Lol Indicine team..
I m Following Sallu since 2/3 years and have seen his tweets..They aren’t auto generated
He Praised Dolly Ki Doli in about 20-25 tweets in a few minutes.. tweeting 4/5 words at a time in Hinglish..He tweets in Hinglish 80% of the times..He puts so many pics without any Description..these are the reasons why he has so many tweets
@Tuhin : Indicine just did a Tauheen of you. Great reply Indicine !!!!!!
To be honest I dont know who Zayn is. No matter how many tweets or how many followers the bottom line how many come to theatres to watch you on Big screen? instead of watching it on YouTube n winning every xyz poll or filling up indicine pages to show more stardom !!!!!!!!!
Indicine why did you not mention the loop hole on fb likes??dnt u know that there are many ways of getting likes on fb??are u affraid by salman fans?? please openly annnounce that twitter is much more authentic.
Ahahahah!! Another slap to haters face, Zayn malik sister is also she met with the global star and even got a kiss, Zayn himself retweeted srk, why you all so jealous
Shahrukh has not only beaten
Modi’s famous tweet, but has also
become the first Indian to receive more
than 100,000 retweets. Power of king khan, please where are their fake stars
@Tohin .. dude SALUTE to ur Dumbness..
Those 40k tweets of Salman were auto Genereated during Jai Ho..
His Real tweets are even less than 1000 .. Unlike srk ,Salman don’t keep on promoting himself or his movies on Twitter.. He never Retweet or Reply to anyone ..still he is more Famous than Srk on Twitter or any other social Media Platform..so get ur facts right …
Salman should post a pic with the isis or boko haram leader, like seriously, the selfie will cross 300mark coz that’s what his fans want ahahahahahah, Big up to you srk for making us proud day by day, and again KKR won yesterday so happy @indicine pls publish this
@indicine thanks yaar for publishing this article, atfirst people think zayn appearance in that pic made the tweet be retweeted 100times more buh that’s a cheap excuse even zayn sister said she was sooo happy takimg a selfie wth the KING, so you guys shud just accept the fact that every corner, srk is loved by millions even the hollywood celebs knws him too well than yur fake stars(kristen stewart,janet jackson,jack huffman,hercules director,and many more) whilst your fake stars are known by an underworld criminals LOL
He has helped Srk to over take modi on Twitter retweets otherwise we all know the real aukat of Srk !! Wat a hit show OM &Tv , kya naam tha , bhul gya LOL !!!SRK ko ek kuuta v nhi jnta America m means The Angrezz nd not even Hollywood heroes nd makers so y Srk idiot fans calls him global star ??
@indicine dont mind them joor they are just jealous
