In an earlier interview with Hindustan Times, Rishi Kapoor defended having directly messaged his followers and said, "You can't follow me and abuse me and you think I will keep quiet... Once I was corrected that I should not put this on my timeline. Now I go to them and do this. I will not let anyone try and stomp over me. No one can walk over me."
