LLC 2024: India Capitals to face Konark Suryas Odisha in Jammu

The X owner is currently followed by former US President Barack Obama at 131.9 million followers, and famous footballer Cristiano Ronaldo at 113.2 million followers (as of October 3).

Popular singer Justin Bieber is at the fourth position with 110.3 million followers and Rihanna is in the fifth spot with 108.4 million followers.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently crossed the 100 million mark in the world -- which was hailed by Musk -- and has 102.4 million followers as of now.

Musk recently said that X now has more than 600 million monthly active users (MAUs), and around 300 million daily active users (DAUs).

Reports surfaced recently, claiming that most of Musk’s followers “are fake and the count is bloated by millions of new, inactive accounts”. However, there has been no official confirmation about the claim.

According to the Tesla and SpaceX owner, X social media platform has become a group chat for Earth, with maximum traffic coming from all over the world. “X is the group chat for Earth,” Musk had posted.

The tech billionaire aims to make it an “everything app” where people can post movies and TV shows and also make digital payments. Musk also claimed that X usage in the US has reached an all-time high.

Earlier this week, global investment firm Fidelity cut the value of its holding in Musk-run X (formerly Twitter) by a massive 78.7 per cent, which implies that the X social media platform is likely valued at just $9.4 billion.

According to the asset manager, X is now valued at less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price (at August end), reports TechCrunch which cited its filings. X, Fidelity or Musk did not comment on the report based on regulatory disclosures.

A video of the actress, which has gone viral on the Internet, shows her recollecting the time when she filmed for a “big movie” in Dubai along with a “big starcast”.

In the video, Mallika said, “Let me tell you an instance, I was shooting for a big film in Dubai, it was a multi-starrer film. It's a super hit film, people like it a lot, I have done a comedy role in it”.

Everything was fine till here. However, what she spoke of next, paints a very uncomfortable, rather a dark picture of what goes around in the blingy corridors of tinsel town.

She further mentioned, “The hero of that film used to knock on my door at 12:00 am. By knocking, I thought he was going to break the door. Because he wanted to come inside my bedroom. And I was like, no, it's not going to happen. After that, that hero never worked with me”.

However, the actress refrained from taking any names. As soon as the clip went viral, people on social platforms started speculating who she could be talking about. Some people in the comments section of Reddit deduced that the big budget film could be the 2007 superhit ‘Welcome’ as it was shot in Dubai, featured a huge starcast, and sees Mallika portraying a comedy role.

Meanwhile, Mallika’s upcoming movie ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’ marks her second Hindi film after 2 years. She was earlier seen in the Rajat Kapoor directorial ‘RK/RKay’. ‘Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video’ also stars Triptii Dimri and Rajkummar Rao both of whom are riding high on their recent box-office successes.
