The actor waged a Twitter war after he tweeted out that he is a 'beef eating Hindu.'

While many have criticised Maharashtra government's decision to ban beef in the state, no one has been slammed for opposing the ban as much as Rishi Kapoor. The actor waged a Twitter war after he tweeted out that he is a 'beef eating Hindu.'

I am angry. Why do you equate food with religion?? I am a beef eating Hindu. Does that mean I am less God fearing then a non eater? Think!! — rishi kapoor (@chintskap) March 15, 2015

The actor also added that he will not kowtow to the 'dictates by bigots' and will do as he pleases and urged the youngsters to do the same:

Aapko naheen khaana beef/pork mat khao. Ultimately your Karma counts not fuckn dictates by bigots. Karo Apna kiddos. Karm achche hon bas! — rishi kapoor (@chintskap) March 15, 2015

Ye pandit maulvi sab chodo! Karo dil ki baat. Man ki baat. Ban on food? Unheard of by Idiots!!! Politics!! — rishi kapoor (@chintskap) March 15, 2015

After Kapoor's tweets, Twitterverse went into a tizzy with many abuses being hurled at the actor for supporting cow slaughter. Kapoor, unlike many, was actually brave enough to confront the Hindu fundamentalists on Twitter and was also engaged enough to reply to trolls. The actor wasted better part of Monday and some hours on Tuesday, blocking abusive tweeple who lashed out at him for opposing beef ban. He also went on a Twitter rant and posted the following:

Please don't get me wrong I do not advocate killing of animals I am against this shit of double standards of politicians to suit themselves — rishi kapoor (@chintskap) March 15, 2015

By the way I love my Pork Chops too like a lot of my muslim friends who have a likewise thinking Laugh when you equate food with religion. — rishi kapoor (@chintskap) March 15, 2015

Kapoor is the only celebrity who opposed the beef ban on social media site. Several other B-towners had previously spoken against it, with some calling it 'communal politics' (You can read about it here).
