Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who is an active user of social networking services, says his Twitter handle has been hacked.

The 72-year-old actor took to the micro-blogging website to share that his official account on the digital platform was "hacked".

"WHOA !..My Twitter handle hacked! Sex sites planted as 'following'! Whoever did this, try someone else, buddy, I don't need this," the "Coolie" star tweeted on Monday.

Big B has over 16 million followers including celebrities like Dilip Kumar, Hema Malini and Shah Rukh Khan on Twitter.

The "Paa" actor regularly uses the platform to stay connected to his fans, whom he fondly calls his "extended family" to share news about his personal and professional life.
