For
Anupam
Kher,
it
isn't
enough
to
be
on
a
social
network
regularly.
Unlike
other
celebrities
who
only
prefer
to
bond
with
their
followers
on
the
popular
social
network
(Twitter),
Anupam
wants
to
personally
meet
these
folks
with
whom
he
has
established
a
virtual
bond.
The
actor
has
devised
an
ingenious
plan
to
meet
up
with
his
virtual
family
on
a
geographical
basis.
In
every
major
city
of
the
world
where
Anupam
would
happen
to
visit,
he
will
invite
his
friends
from
the
social
network
for
an
evening
of
bonding
at
a
common
venue.
Anupam
has
already
hosted
two
such
parties
at
posh
suburban
hotels
in
two
different
cities
of
the
world.
A
third
is
to
follow
very
shortly.
Anupam
calls
these
meetings
'Tweet
Talks'.
Explaining
his
methodology
of
bonding
globally,
Anupam
says,
"For
me
it
is
not
enough
to
just
know
my
followers
on
Twitter.
I
need
to
meet
them
to
really
understand
our
bonding.
Earlier
this
year
when
I
was
shooting
in
Edinburgh,
I
had
my
first
Tweet
meet.
My
followers
drive
in
from
miles
outside
the
city
to
attend
the
party.
The
Tweet
meet
was
so
successful
in
Edinburgh
that
I've
just
hosted
another
very
successful
Tweet
in
Toronto
where
folks
from
as
far
as
Vancouver
attended."
Now
Anupam
will
have
a
third
Tweet
meet
in
London.
"I'll
be
shooting
in
London
next
month
for
Rohit
Dhawan's
Desi
Boyz.
My
Twitter
followers
from
London
and
around
the
city
will
attend." For
Anupam
bonding
globally
is
a
big
thing.
Last
month
he
lectured
at
the
prestigious
Kellogg
School
of
Management.
"And
I
didn't
lecture
about
cinema
or
Bollywood.
I
spoke
on
the
power
to
change
lives.
It
feels
good
to
reach
out
beyond
cinema,"
says
the
veteran.
