Bollywood actor-director-singer Farhan Akhtar has reached a new milestone on micro-blogging site Twitter with five million followers.

Farhan, 41, who joined twitter in December 2009, is very happy with the new feat.

"5 million today. Big hug to all and a warm welcome to those who recently be-friended my account. #twitterpetohbantahai (sic)," Farhan posted.
