Mumbai: At a time when citizens have been panic-hoarding grocery and food to last the lockdown period, Rishi Kapoor feels the government should allow liquor shops to function in the evenings to prevent black marketing.
The veteran actor took to Twitter to express his views. He shared: "Think. Government should for sometime in the evening open all licensed liquor stores. Don't get me wrong. Man will be at home only what with all this depression, uncertainty around. Cops,doctors,civilians etc... need some release. Black mein to sell ho hi raha hai."
Sympathising with drinkers, the actor shared that they might end up having depression due to frustration. He wrote in another tweet: "State governments desperately need the money from the excise. Frustration should not add up with depression. As it is pee to rahe hain legalize kar do no hypocrisy. My thoughts."
Netizens interpreted his tweets as a hint that the actor is probably running out of his own stock of alcohol. One user commented: "Direct bolona, liquor ka stock khatam ho gya hei. Kia idhar udhar ghumake baat karta hei."
Another user teased him saying: "Sir black me kaha sell ho raha hai. I think you know. Pls alert authorities @CMOMaharashtra."
