Anurag Kashyap's followers down: Saqib Saleem calls it 'jhol', Motwane questions Twitter

Is there something amiss with Anurag Kashyap’s number of followers on Twitter reducing? While the filmmaker asked the microblogging platform about it, some celebrities have been wondering how they ‘unfollowed’ him in the first place. After Kaminey actor Chandan Roy Sanyal, Anurag Kashyap’s former business partner Vikramditya Motwane claimed that he was always following the Black Friday director, when he realised he had ‘unfollowed’ Anurag. Meanwhile, Saqib Saleem termed it as ‘jhol’ (mischief) as Twitter users too pointed out that they never realised when they unfollowed Anurag Kashyap.
