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

Bollywood stars had a lot to say about the Oscar awards, especially A R Rahman's big loss.

'AR Rahman truly desrved d Oscar 4 Best song this year. I love Colin Firth but Social Network lead actor IS The character he played. I wish we would show as much respect 2 our technicians as d Oscars do. Films r a collaborative medium but Technicians often go unsung,' Shabana Azmi tweeted.
