A little birdie says…
Gurdas Maan After making their presence felt on Facebook, to reach out to their fans Punjabi film actors are now taking to Twitter in a big manner. All thanks to the legendary Gurdas Maan who has led the way by marking his presence on Twitter

However, while elaborating on his music genius, Shaan, 18, is a man of few words, rather reticent, but firm and confident as he traces his journey towards becoming a Dj.
