Rishi Kapoor unhappy with Bihar liquor ban

Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor has strongly condemned the ban on liquor in Bihar by the Nitish Kumar government. He says now he might skip travelling to the state.

The Bihar government, on Tuesday, imposed a complete ban on sale of any kind of liquor in Bihar, making it the fourth dry state of the country after Gujarat, Manipur and Nagaland.

Rishi took to Twitter, on Wednesday, to share his feelings about the ban.

“10 years imprisonment for alcohol – Five years for illegal possession of arms? Wah Nitish! Me no coming to Bihar! How myopic can you get in 2016?” [sic] he added.

The ‘Kapoor & Sons’ actor also shared a photograph of himself from the 1983 film ‘Coolie’.
