It looks like you're using Python 2, but you didn't specify.

I'd probably do something like this:

    #!/usr/bin/env python

    MAX_LENGTH = 140

    users = [
        "saad", "asad", "sherry", "danny", "ali", "hasan", "adil", "yousaf",
        "maria", "bilal", "owais",
    ]

    def populate():
        message = raw_input("Enter string: ")
        while users:
            new_message = " ".join([message, "@" + users.pop(0)])
            if len(new_message) > MAX_LENGTH:
                break
            message = new_message
        return message

    if __name__ == "__main__":
        print(populate())
