The veteran actor Rishi Kapoor is well known for countering the political mishappenings and of course, it doesn’t take much time for him to backfire on silly trolls when it is about him or his people.
Starting from his loosening free words on the award-taking procedure, Rishi Kapoor is nowhere the person who stops expressing his views and exposing the truths. The actor has always been the center of news and controversies for one or other reasons. We all know the mishap he created because of the failure of “Jagga Jassoos”.
For all the bad reasons, he is once again in news and this time it is quite serious. Back then in March 2017, Rishi Kapoor has once insulted a netizen with the following tweet:
That’s how a senior actor from the biggest Bollywood parivar Rishi Kapoor @chintskap abuse a woman on twitter, by DM’ng her. Disgusting! pic.twitter.com/wHiZNBEtCj

The similar kind of situation has appeared now. This time it started when a Twitter user tagged Rishi Kapoor in a meme which featured not only Rishi but his wife Neetu and son Ranbir as well.
This meme made by Shivani Channan was in reference to the comments made by Rishi Kapoor on the topic of Rahul Gandhi’s dynasty talk. She captioned the tweet, “While public is still recovering from Besharam, drunky @chintskap goes MERIT MERIT. Nawaz ka badla le Liya…yay hehe!”
The tweet was as below:

He has a point smh!
First why’d you make a meme directly pointed at him?
Secondly does he know that you’re Dalit?
Thirdly why didn’t you DM him back?— Arhaan Banerjie (@DrScroTus) September 20, 2017
