When Reliance Jio made 'overtures' to Airtel, Vodafone and Idea Cellular on Valentine's Day
On Valentine's Day, Mukesh Ambani-driven Reliance Jio began making "overtures" to Airtel, Vodafone and Idea Cellular with a "Happy Valentine’s Day" message on Twitter, and managed to elicit positive replies too, albeit after a stony silence initially.
Dear @airtelindia, @VodafoneIN, @ideacellular, Happy Valentine’s Day. #WithLoveFromJio

Although the tweet was posted at 10am, the telecom giants took their own sweet time to reply (how rude!). Idea Cellular finally replied:
@reliancejio Same to you! Nice to know that love is in the air today. @airtelindia @VodafoneIN
— Idea Cellular (@ideacellular) February 14, 2017
A witty Airtel followed suit:
Same feels @reliancejio! After all #HarEkFriendZarooriHotaHai ???? @VodafoneIN @ideacellular

Vodafone too relented:
Hey @reliancejio @airtelindia @ideacellular pic.twitter.com/XLTmHqhEWl

But it was Ola, who despite being not "courted" and going through tough times at present, wheeled into the conversation:
@reliancejio @airtelindia @VodafoneIN @ideacellular Get a room already!! 'Such Mush Much Wow' songs in order!! #OlaPlaylist #LoveOnLoop

There were more loving tweeple who paid ample attention to "lovelorn" Jio and made it the "the tweet of the day" (awww, that's sweet).
