Rishi Kapoor wished Huma Qureshi a happy birthday on Twitter with the following message:
“Happy Happy Birthday dear @humasqureshi. God Bless!”
And then he went on to joke about Huma’s weight by adding this picture:
Well, the picture didn’t go well with twitterati who began to criticize the veteran actor for making fun of Huma’s body type. After all the online flak, Rishi Kapoor retracted his earlier tweet with an apology.
But Huma, who is a good sport, didn’t seem to mind Rishi Kapoor’s joke and instead asked everyone to calm down.
Looks like Bollywood wants to play it safe by retracting any tweet, which might be even slightly controversial these days.
