Sachin Tendulkar Gives Brilliant Reply To Fan Who Asked ‘Sure You’re Real’ After He Lost Twitter Blue Tick

Twitter, Elon Musk’s microblogging site, earlier disclosed that verified Twitter accounts need to pay a fixed subscription fee to keep the blue ticks on their verified accounts. Surprisingly, several ‘Recognised’ Twitter accounts lost their Blue Ticks on Friday morning. Seems like Twitter is on a blue tick removing spree.

Apparently, Twitter is removing the verified status by taking away the blue ticks from those accounts that have not paid the mentioned subscription fee per month. The Twitter Blue subscription is available for a monthly fee of Rs 650 on the web and Rs 900 on mobile devices.

There are almost 4 lakh users and notable personalities who lost their Twitter blue ticks recently. Renowned personalities like Hillary Clinton, Bill Gates, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas, and Bollywood celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Salman Khan, and Shah Rukh Khan lost their blue ticks from their accounts.

Politicians like Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and several chief ministers also lost their verified blue ticks on their Twitter accounts. Among the proficient cricketing personalities, Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, and Sachin Tendulkar have lost their verified checkmarks.

This move by Twitter led to questions being raised by the well-known personalities as well as their fans.

Recently, the legendary Sachin Tendulkar made his Q&A #AskSachin debut on Twitter where he gave permission to his fans to ask him questions that he would answer. He wrote,

My #AskSachin debut here on Twitter. Bring on some interesting questions!

Among the fans, one fan of Sachin Tendulkar gathered attention when he got an answer from the Master Blaster.

One of the fans asked the Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar that without the Blue Checkmark how would he know who the real Sachin Tendulkar is on Twitter

The fan asked,

“Now that, you don’t have the blue tick, how can we be sure that you’re the real Sachin Tendulkar?”
