We all know Bollywood veteran actor Rishi Kapoor is well admired for his straightforwardness with media and Twitter. Yes, he is very open minded and never hesitates in speaking the truth. Wrong or right, Rishi Kapoor makes sure he speaks about it on his Twitter handle.
We all know that he was a good friend to Vinod Khanna. The actor who was suffering from bladder cancer, breathed his last yesterday.
His death has saddened the whole industry. Many celebrities from the cricket world and Bollywood industry mourned the tragic demise of the superstar and took to Twitter to pay their last respect.
However, there were also people like Amitabh Bachchan who reportedly left an interview mid-way to be the grieving family. He was joined by many industry veterans but especially Rishi Kapoor, who came back home more anguished than he had expected.
Post his visit, he observed few things at the venue and posted his opinions on twitter. He slammed the young age actors who did not show up at the funeral but showed up at Priyanka Chopra’s party.
Read His Tweets Here:
Shameful. Not ONE actor of this generation attended Vinod Khanna’s funeral. And that too he has worked with them. Must learn to respect.

It has been two weeks and no actor has even tried to respond to Kapoor’s tweet. But, Heropanti’s debut actress Kriti Sanon finally opened up and gave a firm reply. In an interview with a leading daily, Kriti said:
“I would like to believe it was situational. I don’t think the present generation is less attached. I personally am emotional about people who I know and I am around.”
She added:
“There can be individual reasons for people who knew Vinod Khanna and worked with him but still were not there (funeral). There might be people who were not in Mumbai or were traveling. I can’t comment on someone as to why they didn’t turn up.”
However, it must be said that Kriti Sanon do has a valid point and let us just wait for the reply from Rishi Kapoor, what is he going to say now?
