Rishi Kapoor's creepy tweet on Priya

Rishi Kapoor's Post On Priya Prakash Varrier Leaves His Fans Disgusted

Priya Prakash Varrier has become an internet sensation and with just wink, she has achieved a popularity that most actors take years for. She has become media's favourite as well and has said that her phone hasn't stopped ringing wit people calling her with requests for an interview. She has obliged and amongst other things has mentioned how she harbors the desire to work in Bollywood. Not just this, she has her wish list pretty much sorted as well. While she has named actors like Ranveer Singh and Shah Rukh Khan, there is one veteran superstar who is awed by her and wishes she made it into films back when he was still ruling the screen.

Rishi Kapoor, who is known to be outspoken and also someone with a great sense of humour took notice of the Oru Adaar Love girl and dedicated a tweet to her predicting how she is here to stay and rule the roost. In his tweet last night, Kapoor Sr. said, "I predict huge Stardom for this girl. Priya Warrier. So expressive, coy coquettish yet innocent. My dear Priya, you going to give all others in your age group a run for their money. God Bless and the best to you! Mere time mein naheen ayeen aap! Kyon? Lol (sic).

How sweet and funny, no? Well, his followers on Twitter beg to differ. Most were disgusted and questioned why successful old men always joked creepily about dating girls below their daughters age. Thankfully, there were some supporters as well, who reasoned out that there was nothing but admiration in the post and that a veteran like Rishi should be applauded for speaking straight from the heart instead of being trolled.

Well, there are always going to be some haters. But coming back to Rishi's post, time must have passed for him to star opposite Priya, but wouldn't it be great to see her with Ranbir Kapoor in a Bollywood film? Priya Prakash Varrier has become a name and face to reckon with and after the song Manikya Malaraya Poovi went viral, the girl has made filmmakers look up and notice. We won't be surprised if she is approached for a Bollywood film soon. And in that case, Sara Ali Khan, Ananya Pandey and Janhvi Kapoor will have some really tough competition. Haina?
