New Delhi:
Rishi Kapoor, undaunted by repeated trolling, has posted another tweet about Pakistan, this one an Independence Day greeting. Mr Kapoor, 64, tweeted last night, "Wishing all my friends from Pakistan a Happy 'Youm-e-Azaadi' ka din. Happy Independence Day. Let peace, brotherhood and love prevail." The responses he received are divided between others also wishing Pakistan and those offended by the actor's tweet. "This doesn't qualify for a reply," said one comment. Several others rebuke Rishi Kapoor for wishing 'terrorists.' One commenter reminded Mr Kapoor that his tweet was a day early - Pakistan's Independence Day is today.
Rishi Kapoor has also been praised for his tweet in several comments. "That's how easy it is to diminish distances. Respect and shukriya," reads one response.
