Kapoor took to Twitter to express his views. “Dear fellow Indians. We must and have to declare EMERGENCY. Look at what’s happening all over the country! If the TV is to believed, people are beating policemen and medical staff! There is no other way to contain the situation. It is only good for all of us. Panic is setting in,” he tweeted.

However, instead of agreeing with him, most users disagreed with the actor for his views. One user asked: “How will emergency solve an issue, lockdown won’t?” Another user commented: “Sir it’s not so easy...we have no plan for poors on how they will survive.”

A user wrote: “Thank you, Can people of Mumbai build a 70 M high wall around his house to make Rishi Kapoor happy and get a feel of emergency.”

Despite the actor warning netizens not to make fun of his lifestyle recently, users again commented about his alleged alcohol consumption.

However, it seems the trolls are not in the mood to give up.
