Within three months of logging on after a five-year hiatus, Rishi Kapoor has established himself as a sort of Agent Provocateur on Twitter. Yesterday, in a midnight tweet, he said he had decided to leave:
 

Hi. Thought about it.Too much negativity abusive language and disregard for seniors. Will retire from Twitter coz it has only given me grief

Mr Kapoor's tweets have made several headlines recently. His son Ranbir Kapoor told NDTV that his father was 'going to leave a big mark on Twitter.' He said, "I guess people are seeing that side of my father which I have seen all my life. What you are reading about him is exactly how he is. He is not tweeting just for effect. These are the things that he believes in, this is his mind and he is speaking his mind. And I think somewhere Twitter and my father can be a great combination. It can be a lethal combination. But I think at the end of it he is going to leave a big mark on Twitter." Mr Kapoor has been berated by concerned colleagues for his (often hilarious) outspokenness on Twitter:
 

Morning Dimple Kapadia called to scold/praise me for my tweets.Sweet of her concern. Akshay too spoke I told him Gabbar looks good!Good luck

He's issued health warnings about not taking his jokes seriously:
 

Convinced. Most on Twitter have no sense of humour. You don't take things/tweets so seriously and literally,this is also a fun thing.Enjoy!

He's dealt with fans who want him to filed messages for Ranbir, mega-star and social media abstainer:
