The late actor Rishi Kapoor was known for never mincing his words and speaking his heart out. An old video of the actor has resurfaced on the internet of a Diwali party in 2019, where the actor got upset with the paparazzi. In 2019, Rishi Kapoor attended a Diwali party hosted by Ekta Kapoor. Arriving with his wife, Neetu Kapoor, Rishi appeared cheerful but soon became frustrated with the photographers outside. In the video, Rishi can be seen addressing the eager paparazzi, expressing his displeasure with their constant shouting.

"Don’t shout! You keep shouting ‘look here, look there.’ Please don’t do that,” he said, visibly irritated. He continued, “Don’t make noise. We have to maintain our dignity. People shouldn’t look down upon us film industry folk. Take your photographs, do your jobs, but don’t make noise.” 

Even while posing alongside Neetu, Rishi repeated his request, asking the photographers once again to “not shout.” Rishi Kapoor’s father, the legendary Raj Kapoor, was known for hosting some of the most iconic Diwali parties in Bollywood, held at RK Studios. These gatherings, bringing together the biggest stars, symbolized the unity and glamour of Bollywood, a legacy cherished by the Kapoor family. 

The Kapoor family continues to uphold these festive traditions. Last year, Kareena Kapoor and Saif Ali Khan hosted a Diwali party at their Mumbai home, joined by Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt.
