Twitter: A platform for the Sarcastically-Witty?
Alok Nath has been trending on Twitter for over eighteen hours and the trend started because of reasons that are yet not known.
Some believe that his stereotype fatherly image created with several movies under the Rajshri banner (Maine Pyaar Kiya, Hum Aap Ke Hai Kaun and Hum Saath Saath Hain) bothered a few viewers and they posted a few tweets and that spread like a wild fire. Some believe last week's #BollywoodTaughtUs trend was the one that initiated a few jokes on Alok Nath and those continued… to give birth to a new trend, ‘Alok Nath’. A few verified accounts and a few accounts having more than 10000 followers helped the trend garner traction (thanks to the RTs by followers)
Alok Nath strongly disapproves of Mukesh Ambani. Because his sanskar met with an accident.

Those who use Twitter as a platform to showcase their creativity or to portray their appetite for humour or simple add more followers added fuel to the fire.

Many expressed their concern; Kavita Barjatya, the daughter of Rajshri family tweeted.
Kept wondering why Alok Nath ji is trending on Twitter. Read a few tweets on him & then read FirstPost's article. He's a simple man! #Sad

The past day's events have made it quite impossible for Alok Nath to join twitter ever!

Is Twitter is a platform for showcasing the sarcastically-witty side?
