KRK, who was back on Twitter after the suspension of his earlier account, is under scrutiny again. His new handle, not even a few days old, has been suspended for undisclosed reasons.
This move does not come as a shock, because in only 13 tweets, KRK attacked actors Sushant Singh Rajput, Salman Khan, SRK and, surprisingly, the BJP.
In a press release sent out on 18 October – after his old account was suspended – the actor said that he has not abused anyone and Twitter suspended his account without a warning. KRK also said that he would take the matter to court.
On 1 November, in another press release aimed directly at Twitter India and three of its employees, KRK claimed that he was depressed about being ‘cheated’ by Twitter.
KRK said that he had the freedom to express his opinion and that he had not broken any of Twitter’s guidelines. He wished to be reimbursed for all the money that was spent on his account.
Tweeting through Atul Mohan’s account, KRK made matters worse by threatening to commit suicide.
This move, like the rest, was not taken seriously and was dismissed as another one of his antics.
In the short duration of his new handle, KRK accused Amir Khan, Salman Khan and SRK for being directly responsible for the suspension of his old Twitter account. “They can’t stop me from reviewing films to save public from watching their crap films. Better, they should make good films instead to stop me (sic),” he added.
He also referred to SRK’s latest interview in which Shah Rukh was talking about his critics, KRK tweeted, “Hopefully Shah Rukh Khan’s career doesn’t get destroyed with his critics. (sic)”
This is not the first time KRK has been surrounded in controversies relating to various celebrities and politicians. Thankfully, this account was also reported and suspended before he could do too much damage.
