I am a proud two time a day praying Hindu who respects other faiths too, says Rishi Kapoor

Mumbai: Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor minces no words when it comes to expressing his views on sensitive matters, be it blind religious beliefs as well as the meat and beef bans. That, he says, does not make him "anti-Hindu".

Rishi got in a Twitter spat with a user, who wrote: "@chintskap Fools like Rishi kapoor eat beef; have a mini church at home and then call themselves a Hindu and comment on Hindu Saints. Think!"

The 'Bobby' actor retorted: "What I do, eat, drink or pray is none of your business."

Rishi, who has been vocal about eating beef in the past, then added: "There's a perception that I am anti-Hindu. Sad. I am a 'Proud' two time a day praying Hindu. But I respect other faiths too. I just say the truth."

In May, the Maharashtra government banned beef. The 63-year-old actor then landed in a soup after tweeting 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 than a non eater? Think!!," he tweeted back then.
