Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol arrive in New York, 100,000 people follow!

Shah Rukh Khan arrived in New York with Kajol, his 'My Name is Khan' (MNIK) co-star, on Sunday afternoon closely followed by 100,000 fans, on Twitter that is.

When Shah Rukh entered Twitterverse on January 3, we predicted he would have the largest following on the micro blogging site amidst all Indians. Within 15 hours of his first tweet, he had 10,000 followers, a little over 15 days later the number had crossed 100,000.

We expect Shah Rukh following to cross the million mark before the summer ends and we doubt any Indian could do better, which is one good reason why we expect the other Khans to stay out of Twitterverse.

Shah Rukh is a delight to follow on Twitter because he tweets straight from his heart. He uses Twitter to bare his soul, not promote his work, and his fans love that.

Shah Rukh is in New York to ring the opening bell for NASDAQ stock exchange as part of the promotional campaign for MNIK in the US. He and Kajol will ring the bell on behalf of Fox Searchlight Pictures which is distributing the film in the US market.

Meanwhile, the film's producer and director, Karan Johar, who is also a close friend of Shah Rukh and Kajol, is headed to London to promote the film in the UK.

After arriving in New York, Shah Rukh jokingly tweeted to Karan

@kjohar25 for a change kajol and me are doing the glamourous stuff & u do the hard work. heard everyone loved the film. u r a rockstar bro.
