The curious case of Uday Chopra's tweets: Finally, we solved the mystery
He knew from the beginning that Twitter was not Facebook; one has to be very cheeky or outrageous on Twitter.
Uday Chopra’s Twitter account is more interesting than any of his movies, be it Mohabbatein, Neal ‘n’ Nikki or even Dhoom.
We have not taken our cue from Chopra’s latest tweet batting for Marijuana.
We have done a recce of his past tweets and concluded that he has all the potential to becoming the next Twinkle Khanna of Bollywood — both born to famous Bollywood families, but not finding their calling in the profession tailor made to them, and then seeking greener pastures in something else — comedy. The process of our recce yielded some unbelievable results about the ‘believer of unblief’ (his Twitter bio says this).
Well, quite ahead of his time
If Bollywood stars have started taking their social media game seriously of late, Uday Chopra must be their torchbearer. Dhoom 3 was the last movie in which he was seen, and despite its success, which had nothing to with Chopra’s presence (He must have thought about it), Uday Chopra officially ended his acting career and concentrated on the international functioning of Yash Raj Films. The longest week, Grace of Monaco, Seducing Ingrid Berman are some of the Hollywood movies he produced.
Like many of us, he joined Twitter in 2009. But, he has been quite active even in the earlier days as well. It seems he knew from the beginning that Twitter was not Facebook; one has to be very cheeky or outrageous on Twitter, and remain open to all kind of harsh words.
So, in 2003, he wished Diwali a very happy birthday on the day of Diwali. Still, you didn't see this opinion of legalising marijuana coming?
Its Diwali’s birthday today…Happy Birthday Diwali!!!Ok Fine!Happy Diwali everyone - leave the lighter, just bring the light!

I just googled
Last year, he took a sabbatical from Twitter. And this year, Twitter started taking him seriously all of a sudden during Karnataka Assembly elections. Being too naive for Twitter, he tweeted that he had googled the governor of Karnataka and what he found. Twitter users taught him a lesson that everyone had the privilege of using google search and they googled 'Uday Chopra'. And Twitter found its 'I just googled' meme.
I just googled the governor of Karnataka https://t.co/5vUFe5Tttq BJP guy and RSS hmmm I guess we all know what’s gonna happen

Is he depressed? Or is he a Trump supporter?
The answer is: both. From time to time.
I do believe reading is a great way to help depression and anxiety. Inculcating this habit, almost as medicine can help a lot. Start with 30mins a day morning and evening, and slowly increase the duration. Go find a good book and begin unraveling it’s mysteries. I use @goodreads

I might actually want Donald Drumpf to win. Not cause he would be good, but it would be hilarious when he gets on the mic and says “Gotcha!”

When I die I wanna be buried and not in a casket. I want my dead body to nourish the soil and at least be useful in my death.

Sometimes I get the feeling that every day of the week, wants to be Sunday. Like secretly they are all jealous of Sunday. Except Saturday, cause I think Saturday is still a bit too young to feel jealousy, but the rest...for sure! Sorry Monday, your secrets out, just be you dude!

I just invented a word that has the power to end all suffering. In my magnanimity I share it with all of you.Fehiaeioux: A word if pronounced properly can take away all pain, suffering and sorrow. Unfortunately no one alive yet has managed to figure out its real pronunciation.
