Late actor Rishi Kapoor was known not just for his legendary performances on-screen, but also for his unfiltered, witty, and often controversial presence on Twitter. As we mark the 5th death anniversary of the beloved star, here’s a look back at five of his most iconic tweets that left the internet stunned and entertained.
This tweet took the internet by storm. Since his son Ranbir Kapoor did not have a social media account, many fans began messaging Rishi Kapoor to reach out to the Saawariya actor.
Rishi Kapoor posted a photo of a cat with the message: “Another thing. I am NOT, and repeat NOT, Ranbir’s Post Box that you can drop messages or post them. Thank you, I remain yours truly – Rishi Kapoor.”
Taking a playful jab at his fellow Bollywood stars, Kapoor tweeted: “Why do male/female actors wear dark sun glasses in the NIGHT—especially at parties and airports where media hang around? Someone tell me this.”
The Mulk actor once tweeted a photo of a street food stall named RK Chinese Food, captioning it: “My future. After all the bashing I’ve got and threats to boycott my films, ab bas ye hi reh gaya hai!”
The tongue-in-cheek humor was classic Rishi Kapoor, poking fun at himself amidst criticism.
In one of his cheekiest tweets, Kapoor wrote: “Some fan just asked—‘Do you drink occasionally or regularly?’ I honestly replied—Occasionally. But the occasions come regularly!!!”
Fans loved his candidness and sharp humor.
One of his most talked-about tweets was a photo comparing reality TV star Kim Kardashian to a mesh bag full of onions. He simply captioned it: “Onions in a mesh bag.”
This tweet sparked laughter and some outrage—but remains one of his most remembered social media moments.
