Rishi Kapoor wishes Happy Independence Day to Pakistan; gets trolled as well as applauded

Veteran Bollywood actor Rishi Kapoor wished Pakistan a Happy Independence Day on Twitter, which got mixed reaction from his followers.

Rishi took to Twitter and posted, "Wishing all my friends from Pakistan a Happy "Youm -e- Azaadi" ka din. Happy Independence Day! Let Peace, brotherhood and Love prevail!"

While the actor received hearty greetings from people in Pakistan for the tweet, many of his Indian fans did not appreciate the act. Some even tried to troll Rishi for wishing Pakistan Happy Independence Day a day early.

Although most of the reactions are positive, he faced some trolls too. Many have appreciated Rishi for his small gesture to bring love and peace for the people in the two countries. But some took offence for wishing Pakistan.

Rishi often stirs up controversies with his tweets. The 64-year-old actor is known for his blunt tweets, and he had often trolled Pakistan with his tweets in the past.

He had also received a lot of flak in the past for making abusive tweets and messages to people who disagree with his opinion. Some of the abusive tweets and messages from Rishi were directed to the female folk, which made the situation worse.

However, his latest act of wishing Pakistan a Happy Independence Day was well received mostly in the reply sections. Check some of the responses here:
