Bollywood legend Rishi Kapoor is being heavily criticized by fans and the media for allegedly pushing and hitting a journalist, who came too close to him at the recent Ganesh visarjan. The veteran actor along with brother Randhir and son Ranbir have been bombarded by angry fans after a video clip of the incident went viral.
However, Rishi Kapoor denied ever hitting the journalist and maintained that he had been wrongfully accused. Well, it turns out he was being honest after all, as the journalist who has been identified as a television reporter, broke his silence and made everything clear.
The journalist said that he had never been hit or pushed and just tripped over his camera wire which got entangled in his foot. He said that the video was cleverly edited to make it appear like he was beaten and pushed. He confirmed that neither Ranbir nor Rishi misbehaved in anyway.
Meanwhile, Rishi was outraged that even his son Ranbir was dragged into the controversy.
“I may be the tyrant in the family, but how can they blame the boy? He had nothing to do with it,” he said.
“I am saddened. Jaise RK Holi bandh ho gayi, if this continues, we may have to rethink about having our Ganesh procession as well,” he added.
