Twitters Funniest Celebs: Salman Khan to Rishi Kapoor to, Yes, Baba Sehgal

We list the funniest celebs on Twitter

New Delhi: Social media has done much to bring fans up close and personal with celebrities, placing hitherto remote stars just one remove away, on the other side of a tweet. Through these windows into souls, framed in 140 characters or under, one discovers that certain celebrities are philosophical, others are selfie-obsessed and several are given to ranting. But the celebs we like best are the funny ones. Humour in the time of bans is a fast disappearing commodity, it seems to us, and so we log on faithfully every morning to glean what laughs we can from Twitter.

So here's a shortcut to a few good jokes, freshly brewed by Bollywood celebs on the microblogging site.

These Bollywood personalities have a take on current affairs but with an edge, and they know just how string together a humorous sentence. Actors like Shah Rukh Khan, Ranveer Singh, Rishi Kapoor and Abhishek Bachchan are well-known wits and unsurprising inclusions on this list. Others like Twinkle Khanna and Uday Chopra are products of social media, revealed by twitter as rib-ticklers.

We present to you the funniest celebrities on Twitter.

Baba Sehgal:
It shouldn't be at all astonishing that the singer of '90s songs titled Thanda Thanda Pani and Main Bhi Madonna should carry forward the light-heartedness to Twitter with jokes of the sort below:
 

Often, his rhyming is such that it makes Sarabhai vs Sarabhai's Roshesh look like a world-class poet:
 
 
 
 

Try consoling a heartbroken friend Baba Sehgal-style:
 

He's a sports enthusiast too:
  And philosophical to boot:
  And his version of songs are somehow more fun:
 
 

Twinkle Khanna:
Once upon a time, Twinkle was an actress. Better sense prevailed and she's now fashioned herself into a humour columnist. Twinkle's tweets lampoon her family and include saucy punchlines on current affairs. Her Twitter moniker, @MrsFunnyBones, tells of the star Twinkle really is:
 
 

A tweet for a philosopher's soul:
 

She takes no prisoners:
 
 
 
 
 

Crossing swords with her on Twitter is injurious to health, as author Chetan Bhagat discovered most recently:
 

And Twinkle replied:
 

And that's how you nail it!

Uday Chopra:
Sailing in similar waters is actor Uday Chopra. The Dhoom actor had a less than successful stint on-screen but was welcomed, with open arms, by internet humorists:
 

He also knows how and when to show the door to himself:
 

Rishi Kapoor:
A recent admission to social media, veteran actor Rishi Kapoor is a Twitter prodigy. The actor has taken the site by storm, with almost every tweet report-worthy. Plus, he's hilarious:
 

'Solving Identity Crisis 101 by Rishi Kapoor':
 
 
 
 

Psst... beware! Mr Kapoor overhears conversations and shares them on Twitter:
 
 

And when he was bombarded with tweets for his son Ranbir Kapoor, he had one succinct message for the fans:
 

Ranveer Singh:
His energy and zest for life is infectious and so is his humour. Ranveer Singh has a rep to protect as Bollywood's most madcap star and recently made headlines for live tweeting from the operation theatre where he was undergoing shoulder surgery. Ranveer's only competition is Ranveer himself and the actor, bent on out-crazy-ing himself, has always been a Twitter wag:
 
 

Shah Rukh Khan:
Despite being anointed the Baadshah of Bollywood, SRK is more chatty than grand on Twitter, often delivering his trademark one-liners with deadly wit. The best jokes the actor shares are family oriented:
 
 
 
 

Salman Khan:
SRK's fellow Khan is as stately as he is on Twitter, which is to say - not at all. Salman, who knows all about Being Human, also knows a thing or two about 'Being Humorous'. His tweets are especially funny if you imagine them being read in the actor's very particular style. It's almost like you can hear him say, "Kamal Karte ho...". There's no political correctness and nobody is spared:
 

He is given to several stream of consciousness tweets:
  He also poses some weird questions to his followers, which leaves them tweet-less:
 

He has a unique way of 'stalking' his friends:
 

Sometimes his fans troll him too:
 
 
 
 

And here's when Salman nailed it:
 

Happy New Year is Kick-ass. Get it?!

Abhishek Bachchan:
Junior B's Twitter style is relaxed and informal. We like to imagine that's what he's like in person as well, unencumbered by the trappings of being Bachchan. Here's a sample:
