Thanks for the input.

But,the relationship is this way
1) users HASBTM profiles.

1st scenario ) user can have multiple profiles. A profile can belong to
multiple user.
2nd scenrio ) even if user is not having a particular profile, he can still
follow that profile.

thats the reason there are 2 HASBTM tables. 1) users_profiles for 1st
scenario 2) followers for 2nd scenario.
