Now we all know that Twitter is a fickle thing full of opinions that can be misleading on many occasions. Oh and its also full of trolls and people who take themselves too seriously, people like — Kamaal R Khan urf KRK.
I’m not really sure whether to call him an actor, because that would be doing actors a disservice so for now let’s just call him ‘notorious Twitter troll’, because that’s what he really is.
Eariler today, Rishi Kapoor, in response to a tweet from a parody account that took a potshot at a conversation between Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan, put out the following tweet.
Now mind you, Chintu Ji’s tweet was in no manner directed at the real KRK, but at a parody account by the name of ‘Daddy of Kamaal KRK’, which is something he may or may not have known, but KRK did know, and hence had no business taking offence.
But not one to let a chance for free publicity go by, or troll someone who is least expecting it, KRK let it fly and put out the following tweets:
Rishi Kapoor, obviously not someone to take kindly to the use of such language, put up a tweet saying he would report KRK’s behaviour to Twitter officials. On receiving his complaint, Twitter took down KRK’s tweets which would have obviously left the troll a little miffed.
The thing about trolls is that they like to have the last laugh, even though the likes of KRK sound like hyenas, and so Kamaal R Khan put out a couple of tweets threatening to pursue legal action against Rishi Kapoor, Twitter and “all websites accusing me”.
Well good luck with that my man!
