An angry Rishi Kapoor is at it again, and this time stand-up comedian Aditi Mittal has called him out for it. The veteran actor had sent out an abusive direct message (DM) to a Twitter user who was critical of the Sanju trailer, which stars his son Ranbir Kapoor and called the director, Rajkumar Hirani, “scum”.
Kapoor’s abusive DM was put out as a screenshot and it soon went viral. Take a look at the screenshot of Rishi Kapoor’s message below:
Aditi Mittal was quick to point out that the likes of Rishi Kapoor don’t get called out on this behaviour even while he was accessible to the media while promoting his last film.
“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. While promoting his ‘102 Not Out’ film with master creeper, Amitabh Bachcan, 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?”Aditi Mittal, Comedian
This isn’t the first time that Rishi Kapoor has abused a netizen via a DM on Twitter.
