Rishi Kapoor Abuses A Fan For Criticising ‘Sanju’, Comedian Aditi Mittal Calls Him Out

Right now the talk of B-town is only ‘Sanju‘. It’s the latest film by Rajkumar Hirani and stars Ranbir Kapoor as Sanjay Dutt. The film will follow Sanjay, and showcase all the ups and downs of his life. And as Ranbir has done a bang on impression of the actor, most of his fans are mightily impressed with him.

The reason why I said “most” is because Sanjay Dutt is a controversial figure. That’s why a lot of Ranbir’s fans aren’t happy with the fact that he’s playing the actor. However, since Rishi Kapoor is a pretty loud critic as well, he has borderline abused one of Ranbir’s fans for voicing those opinions.

Twitter user @ClassicFergie recently tweeted out his opinions on the ‘Sanju’ trailer and criticised Rajkumar Hirani for making such a film.

Considering how the tweet has been deleted, it probably didn’t go down with a lot of netizens. And one of those netizens was Rishi Kapoor.

Rishi Kapoor lashed out on the Twitter user about his opinion. However, instead of directly replying to him, he DM’d him.

“What do you know about Cinema you prick. We are in the entertainment business not repairing anybody’s image. As swipes like you don’t deserve to see films.”

This isn’t the first time that Rishi Kapoor has retorted in this manner. On multiple occasions, he has abused people online.

However, stand-up comedian Aditi Mittal had had enough and she called out Rishi Kapoor for his misbehaviour in a series of tweets.

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. https://t.co/HXUv3L1eIG

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?

Films are subjective and that’s why it can be interpreted in multiple ways. However, people shouldn’t hurl abuses at each other because that isn’t going to provide any solutions. And when it comes to bullies, in real life or online, they shouldn’t be tolerated.
