Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor is quite active on social media and is known to pour his heart out. He loves to share anecdotes from his day-to-day life with his fans. The actor is often surrounded by controversies due to his comments on the micro-blogging site. Recently, the ‘102 Not Out’ actor had sent out an abusive direct message (DM) to a Twitter user who had criticised his son Ranbir Kapoor’s upcoming film ‘Sanju’s’ trailer.
The Twitter user while giving his view on Sanju trailer had written, “I’m stunned at the new ‘Sanju’ trailer. Such a blatant attempt to clean up Sanjay Dutt’s image. A criminal is a criminal. That too who was involved in bombings in a city. Raju Hirani is absolute scum.”
The Twitter user was soon slammed by Rishi Kapoor who wrote, “What do you know of cinema you prick. We are in the entertainment business not repairing anybody’s image. As swipes like you don’t deserve to see films,”
The Twitter user soon shared a screenshot of the offensive message sent by Rishi Kapoor to him after he had criticised Sanju’s trailer. The screenshot soon went viral.
Stand up comedian Aditi Mittal was not happy with Rishi Kapoor’s abusive language and decided to call him out. She took to her Twitter handle and wrote, “Rishi Kapoor keeps abusing people online, and every news and entertainment portal keeps covering his movies and interviews as if this kind of behaviour is NORMAL.”(Also Read: VIDEO: Rishi Kapoor gets emotional watching Ranbir Kapoor in ‘Sanju’ trailer)
While promoting his “102 not out” film with master creeper @SrBachchan NOT ONE outlet had the guts to ask him about if he’s ok with embarrassing himself in DM’s on Twitter. Coz apparently this is the kind of behaviour expected from these heros. India is sick with hate & misogyny

Why does no one in the film community call this out? Because it’s Rishi Kapoor?
