2016’s social media stars: These hilarious tweets by Rishi Kapoor prove why he ruled Twitter this year

Though there were times when his tone was a tad bit serious (as it should), but overall he has proved to be an entertainer off-screen and in the digital space. Even when he decided to give it back to haters, he did it in style.

From his tweets about Zara’s ripped jeans collection, when the acting legend just could not gulp down the idea of the brand’s sense of clothing to his latest about the label of a hard drink brand, or the time he literally tied Rakhee, he never ceased to amuse his followers. And if indigenous tweets were not enough, he kept sharing gifs and memes of the most bizarre and the hilarious kind that left Twitterati in splits! Not to forget many a time he took a dig at himself too. Yes, he’s nothing if not fair.

Well, let us warn you if you are travelling while reading this, take care not to snort with laughter. Here are some of our favourites from Rishi Kapoor’s collection, which prove why is a social media rock star.

Take a look at some of his best tweets from 2016:
