Even Raveena Tandon asked the "Prem Rog" actor to "forget those who are negative" and tweeted: "@chintskap be here on your own terms..forgive those who are negative and abusive...they might have some unhappiness in their lives to vent."[caption id="attachment_2234950" align="alignleft" width="380"]Courtesy: ibn live Courtesy: ibn live[/caption]Meanwhile, filmmaker Sajid Khan was seen sharing a "goodnews" that the veteran actor has decided not to leave the website and keep his fans and well-wishers updated on his life and opinions. "To all the fans of rishi kapoor (incldg me)...good news...just had a long chat with him...he is not quitting twitter (Sic)," the "Heyy Babyy" director tweeted. Rishi was among few of Bollywood faces to tweet in support of actor Salman Khan after the latter was convicted and sentenced to five years in jail on Wednesday in a sessions court here. On Wednesday, the "Bobby" actor had written: "The Kapoors are with the Khans in their difficult time. Time is the biggest healer. God Bless!" However, he also went on to express disagreement over Bhattacharya's insensitive Twitter comment where he blamed the accident victim for "sleeping on the road and getting killed." Rishi had reacted by posting: "Ashamed of Abhijit the singer and some Ejaz Khan. Bunch of idiots and non starters." The actor then added another tweet: "Sorry to say but only wannabe Chamchas of Salman siding him with ridiculous support. Hum bhi well wishers hain but give logical explanations." Later, Rishi cleared the air by tweeting that his "chamcha" comment and that his use of the word was only for people like Bhattacharya, and that his family was always with the Khan family. IANS
