Rishi Kapoor is probably the only actor to have made a more successful comeback on social media, than in films! Well, he never really took a break from acting per say, but he has made quite the comeback in terms of popularity. It’s hard to say if he has Twitter to thank for it, or the other way around. As the jovial Punjabi who loves films, alcohol and goofing around, turns 62, here’s looking at his most hilarious tweets of all time!
Chintu ji certainly does have a sense of humour and is just as entertaining online as he is in his films.
Self mockery is the best form of humour. That seems to be Rishi Kapoor’s mantra on Twitter. Here he jokes about his two great loves, alcohol and wife Neetu Kapoor.
He also knows how to take Twitter bashing in his stride. Rishi Kapoor gets trolled all the time, but that doesn’t bother him. He just chooses to laugh about it.
He cracks everyone up even as he thinks aloud.
What’s humour without sarcasm? And Rishi Kapoor has tons of that! When one of Mumbai’s green lungs faced the threat of being chopped off, Chintu ji was at his sarcastic best!
He probably gets asked more about Ranbir Kapoor’s films, than his own. And we think he secretly loves it too!
Rishi Kapoor asks valid, hard hitting, important questions that really get you thinking. So what if they are a few centuries late?
For all that goes on on social media, Chintu Ji’s jokes and sarcasm bring a fresh perspective and a ton of quirks. Of course, then he goes right ahead and gets trolled. But it’s all good fun anyway! Happy 62nd Rishi Kapoor!
