The latest to join the tweet-war wagon are Sunny Leone and the infamous Kamaal R Khan. According to reports, Leone tweeted that rape was actually surprise sex, a comment that was re-tweeted as well. While the actual comment is wiped off, Leone strongly denied tweeting it and said the tweet was actually attributed to her by KRK, who was a liar. KRK's account mirrors his displeasure with tweets like "Dear @sunnyleone first you unblock me n then tell me what m I lying? I have read your statement in a news paper I said tat on twitter." Also, "I request to all women organizations, Shivsena n MNS to protest against Sunny Leone n throw her out of country to save Indian culture", he added. The actress has also filed a complaint against Khan with the Cyber Crime Investigation Cell. Looks like Sunny's in a war too hot to handle! Here are other celebs who took to Twitter to fight their battles.

The two filmmakers have hurled a volley of abuses at each other and their films on the platform.

A verbal duel took place between cricketer Shane Warne and RCA secretary Sanjay Dixit on the site, after Warned criticized pitch conditions that were the responsibility of the Rajasthan Cricket Association.

Two top actresses can't be friends. Take Piggy Chops and Bips, for example, who chose to snub each other when attending a party for Rocky S.

When Ameesha and Bipasha turned up wearing the same dress at the IIFA awards this year, the two couldn't help venting out on Twitter. While Bips said that she'd now stick to deciding her outfit at the last minute, Ameesha retorted, "Fortunately, I don't need to copy anyone. I know u all r upset at some nasty n unrequired comments made by another actor. But don't b upset. I'm really unaffected."
