We are drooling over the picture and sentiments and it’s not just us but the internet is also responding to Rishi Kapoor with love and respect.
Aimen Khan from Pakistan was overwhelmed to see this side of controversial Kapoor:

Nasir, another twitterati, was quick to call the picture an expression of love:
Thank you Rishi Kapoor. Love is the language to adopt for the good of Indian sub continent we love same sports n same heroes

There was some criticism too.
Apparently, Rahul thinks it’s not a good idea to promote religious tolerance:
I thought you are hindu

Whatever the world says, this tweet from ‘Chintu Jee’ has definitely won our hearts.
The Bollywood actor is no strange to controversies and his blunt expression to things he feels about.
On 26 November, Rishi Kapoor tweeted a picture of Mumbai attack with the caption pointing towards Hafiz Saeed, “…………and the perpetrator’s of this heinous crime which claimed 164 lives still live!”

On a different day, we’d ask Mr Kapoor for proofs but today we are a little too happy by his sentiments to promote religious harmony, thus, will let it go.
