The Twitter world is quite a busy one, and Bollywood contributes a great deal to it. Here's looking at the best star tweets of the day.

She's back in India and now she's on twitter! Yes, tweeples, now you can follow Madhuri Dixit-Nene.

Hrithik Roshan said it best in his shoutout to her. 'People!!!! Let's welcome the one n only @MadhuriDixit1 !! Twitter just turned BEAUTIFUL. Welcome mam! Love n respect! :).'

Ditto with Dia Mirza and Priyanka Chopra who has amongst many others already started following the actor!

Preity Zinta

This is one actor who believes in preaching what she practises. Preity Zinta spent some time at the Humsafar trust listening to HIV positive people on World AIDS Day, on December 1.

She tweeted, 'At the Hamsafar Trust in mumbai chatting with people living with HIV & listening to their problems !'

She continued in the same vein, 'Amazed how judgemental & insensitive we have become. A little love & compassion is all dey need. A friend living with HIV is still a friend! One lady living with HIV told me she was sick so she went to the doc. On meeting her he said "Why do u wanna life ? Don't waste my time !'

And then added her view point and plea, 'Don't want 2 depress u guys but would like 2 urge all of u to be less ignorant & more human. Let people living with HIV live with RESPECT ! Nothing else matters except da language of LOVE! Everything else is superficial. Dis is what seperates Man frm Beast! Sad V have 4gotten it!'

Neha Dhupia's been busy with Phas Gaye Re Obama. She tweeted, 'Jus finished our premiere of 'phas gaye re obama' everyone loved the film! Fingers crossed!'
