Veteran Bollywood actor Rishi Kapoor kicked up a storm on Twitter after lashing out at trolls and abusing women over direct messages (DMs) on the micro-blogging platform.
It all started when Rishi Kapoor asked a 'quiz' question to his followers in the wake of Karan Johar becoming father of twins via surrogacy and naming them Yash and Roohi.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en-gb">
QUIZ. What do Rishi Kapoor and Karan Johar have something similar and common between them?
