The Kapoor Khandaan is known for its lavish celebrations, Ganpati being one of the most important ones.

They bring home Bappa every year at their family-owned RK Studio, but this year’s festivities turned a tad ugly, what with the Kapoor sons- Rishi and Randhir- getting physical with the media persons, an entertainment site stated.

While the footage of the Randhir and Rishi abusing and hitting media persons has gone viral, statements from Rishi Kapoor give out another side of the story...

Rishi told the site, "I feel it is very unfair, what the news channels have shared everywhere. First of all we have no PR. We never invite anybody. You yourself come to my Ganpati. However, we give ample time to the press to do all what you have to do, in front of the Ganpati murthy. We do this Ganpati not for publicity but have been doing it for the past 64 yrs. My grandfather started this tradition. There have always been thousands and thousands of people coming to see this Ganpati of RK. They came to see Ganpati, not us. Over 64 yrs they have been coming to see the immersion. When the Ganpati leaves RK studio, everybody is excited.”

He added further to the site, “However, this evening (September 15) there was heavy rainfall. There were so many people and so much media. We have not called them…. It is impossible when there is so much rain and public (to not lose your temper). When we are respecting God, these small time journalists poke the damn camera on your face. Because Ranbir was also there everybody got so excited. I don’t blame them, but they misbehaved with me. If I have indeed slapped them why don’t you show the clip of me slapping? I was behaving like the Mumbai police, trying to monitor the situation. They have misinterpreted it that I misbehaved with the media! You come because you know we are important and you are giving me bull** saying that I have hit you?”

Rishi might come across as a hot-head on his Twitter page, but he generally doesn't lose his cool without a valid reason. So, what's the whole truth?

Apparently, Ranbir was also seen roughing up those present at the visarjan.

On the work front, Ranbir will be seen in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, which promises to take his stardom to another level.
