This happened weeks before his sad demise when the central government announced a nationwide lockdown. May trolls asked Rishi Kapoor if he had stocked a good amount of alcohol to spend time at home.

Respect Parents

This happened when Kareena Kapoor Khan and Saif Ali Khan became parents in 2016. It is no secret that The two were brutally trolled for naming their son Taimur. So Rishi stood up for them saying, “Why are people so bothered what the parents want to name their child please?Mind your business,it’s got nothing to do with you.Parents wish! (sic).”

Shutting down Kamaal R Khan

I guess this needs no explanation. Rishi Kapoor was clearly waving off those lakhs of Ranbir Kapoor fans who think he can ‘pass on a message’.

Slamming Twitterati for being judgemental

Back in 2016, Rishi Kapoor aimed at the entire Twitteratti and slammed them for converting the micro-blogging platform into a place where people are judgemental. Rishi wrote, “Why are people so judgmental and moralistic on this platform? Don’t like it,delete me,like I do. Fuck you! It’s my prerogative to comment (sic).”

Rishi was battling cancer for the last two years as he was diagnosed with leukaemia. The actor breathed his last in a Mumbai hospital. Apart from his film, his massive Twitter following will always miss him for his strong stand on social and political issues. May his soul rest in peace.
