SAY WHAT? This Actor Has BLOCKED A Whopping 5,000 People On Twitter
Social media can get nasty sometimes. However, this actor has the perfect remedy to block negativity out on Twitter – block naysayers
If there is one actor who, more often than not, stirs a
controversy with his thoughts on social media, it’s Rishi Kapoor. The senior
actor has been trolled several times over his tweets, but he is unapologetic
about what he puts out there.
Rishi Kapoor In Trouble Once Again
Making it clear that he won’t let anyone dictate to him
about what he needs to tweet or post on social media, Rishi told a leading
newspaper, “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 added, “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.”
Rishi Kapoor Is Known For His Media Outbursts
When asked about the number of times he has been
embroiled in a war of words on Twitter, Rishi retorted, “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.”
Talking about the strategy to keep negativity away from
his timeline, Rishi revealed that he has blocked over 5,000 people on Twitter.
“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.”
