What’s wrong with the Kapoor clan? They seem to have the shortest temper in Indian film business.

Every now and then Rishi Kapoor is found arguing on one topic or another on social networking websites and if someone disagrees with his point of view he scolds them like a school principal scolds a rowdy student.

Last week, he, his older brother Randhir Kapoor and his son Ranbir Kapoor were taking out a (religious) procession in Mumbai. The media immediately reached the venue to capture the moments.

Rishi and Randhir K got so upset with the journos that they started to hit them. Rishi K slapped and pushed back a TV reporter while Randhir K slapped another, telling them to go away. The video of the incident went viral in the blink of an eye.

Till last reports came in, the brothers hadn’t apologised for their behaviour. Hmm … the fatter, the grumpier – this seems to be the mantra that these siblings follow. Someone put them on a diet, please.
