Bollywood actor Rishi Kapoor was recently involved in a controversy. it was all thanks to his tweet on Beef. The actor was smarting under the ban imposed in the state on the consumption of Beef so took to Twitter to put forth his view.
It all began with this tweet posted on Sunday from his handle @chintkaps:
I am angry. Why do you equate food with religion?? I am a beef eating Hindu. Does that mean I am less God fearing then a non eater? Think!!

Rishi Kapoor had tweeted about exercising a personal choice and keeping religion out of meal choices and politics,
Ye pandit maulvi sab chodo! Karo dil ki baat. Man ki baat. Ban on food? Unheard of by Idiots!!! Politics!!

His tweet was received with an outburst against him from those who see beef as a non-issue and those who feel strongly against it. It compelled Ranbir Kapoor’s father to clarify his stand on the issue in multiple tweets.
Aapko naheen khaana beef/pork mat khao. Ultimately your Karma counts not fuckn dictates by bigots. Karo Apna kiddos. Karm achche hon bas!
