The Twitter has become a popular medium for celebrities to connect with their fans. They use this platform to interact with them and share about their personal and professional matters. Often, this medium has helped the celebrities to clear rumours about them.

It attracted youth in the beginning but gradually it drew the attention of all age groups and classes. Today, we see numerous South actors (Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and Kannada) on Twitter.

Here, we have come up with the list of top South actresses with the most Twitter followers. Find it on the slideshow...

Genelia

Genelia D'Souza is topping the list by having the highest number of followers on Twitter. She has 24,23,661 (2.42 M)
