Rishi Kapoor has blocked over 5,000 people on Twitter, here’s why

The veteran actor Rishi Kapoor is known to be someone who is sharp-tongued and doesn’t mince his words. He often trolls due to his tweets, but he never apologized.

He has been questioned umpteen times about his way of tweeting, but his stance remains constant.

Making it clear that he won’t let anyone dictate to him about what he needs to tweet or post on social media, Kapoor says, “Main woh karunga, woh likhunga jo mera mann chahega (I will do and say and write whatever my heart tells me to do). I have the freedom of expression. This is a democracy, and I can say what I want to and what I feel.”

He adds, “As long as I am not offending someone personally, or I am not agitating against anything that’s a delicate matter, I don’t think that anyone should have a problem with what I say.”

When Rishi Kapoor was questioned about the number of times he faced the wrath of netizens over his tweets, he said,“Who cares! Do you think I give a damn to these trolls or what they say? These so-called trolls feel very important if you [any celebrity] react or respond to their tweet. So, I don’t let them have that moment of joy. Everything is okay but the moment you abuse me, or you offend me, I would do nothing but simply block you. That means you can no longer follow me or see what I am doing. Either you create a new account, start tweeting and then follow me again. So, you lose me for that period.”

The actor revealed that he has so far blocked over 5,000 people on Twitter. Talking about it, he said, “Jisne koi gadbad ki, ya meri family ke bare main kuch kaha ya kuch bhi galat cheez likhi (if anyone dares to take a dig at my family members or write anything mean on my Twitter timeline), I will block him/her. I don’t want this kind of bad influence on my Twitter timeline. I believe that one bad fish spoils the other lot as well, and since I don’t want this to go on, it’s easier for me to block that person, and then they don’t get to talk to me.”

Meanwhile, on the work front the actor will soon be seen in Umesh Shukla’s 102 Not Out with superstar Amitabh Bachchan.
