As a romantic hero, Mr Kapoor has conquered the world and beyond in films such as Bobby and Saagar. IRL, he was left exasperated and infuriated by an insect.
The 63-year-old actor tweeted:
Why is the fly smarter then me?Whenever I try to swat it,the bloody thing flies off. I can never get it.So annoying. pic.twitter.com/rdq0Z40Ycm

Twitter buzzed with advice.
TV actress Kavita Kaushik cautioned Mr Kapoor, in the light of popular soap Sasural Simar Ka on which the lead character was turned into a fly (we still have no clue why).

@chintskap annoying is the feeling that you can't hit it or its smarter? Try with chappals once. You may not hit but it's entertaining.

A couple of hours later, Rishi Kapoor laid the ghost of the fly to rest:
I am a fan of this fly called Flyflu I have downloaded her picture.Jaise aap bhi kissi favourite star ki karte hain https://t.co/gCBBEAiNyf

It's safe to say that when it comes to entertainment, Chintuji is anything but a fly on the wall.
