Bollywood's biggest Twitter wars

Akshay Kumar recently courted trouble after a fan was being punched in face by one of former's bodyguards. And now, here comes another trouble for him and the cause of trouble is nobody else but Akki's better half, Twinkle Khanna, who has been threatened by the Art Of Living followers and Akshay might have to face the wrath of it. Let us tell you about the entire Twitter drama that took place. Twinkle Khanna jovially tweeted about the issue concerning Sri Sri Ravishankar and his recent Nobel Prize Controversy, which she eventually deleted. Mrs Funnybones' (as Twinkle's Twitter handle reads) tweet, which she deleted, reads, “Sri Sri got his nobel foot and half his beard stuck in his mouth in a yogic pose .” She later apologized to the Art Of Living members after being accused of hurting their religious sentiments. She wrote, “Didn’t mean to hurt anyone’s feelings was meant to be a joke and am old enough to accept an error of judgement on my part.” But the international director of AOL has not taken it lightly as he recently tagged Mrs Funnybones with a threat, “Error of Judgement or Fear of #BoycottHousefull3. Anyway Being Old & Being wise is different thing.”. On which Twinkle again replied, “Art of living teacher practising Art of intimidation? Didn’t like my joke diss me-drag my husband,boycott etc #Shame.” Now, who wins this Twitter battle, only time will tell... Till then, click on the next slide to read Ram Gopal Varma's shocking tweet about superstar Rajinikanth and how it backfired on the maverick director...

When Amy Jackson shared a selfie with the legend, Rajinikanth, it immediately went viral. However, Ram Gopal Varma was so enthusiastic about the picture that he just couldn't stop tweeting about it. In a series of tweets, he wrote, "This man by being the biggest star ever completely destroys the notion of looks being important for stardom...He is a bad looker,doesn't have 6 packs ,short with a disproportionate body n knows just 2 nd half dance movements...Nowhere in world a man who looks like this can be SuperStar. I wonder what he did to God that God did this to him...Rajni sir is ultimate proof that no one can ever fucking know why the audience likes what in cinema?...The greatest psychiatrists in the world will collapse with the challenging task of explaining the Rajni Phenomenon" Soon he was being trolled by Rajini's diehard fans. Which is when he again took to Twitter to clarify his stand. He wrote, "Some superdumb fans of Rajnikant dint even realise that I was only complimenting the superstar...Dumb fans of Rajni who dint realise my tweets r compliment shud realise Rajni himself makes fun of himself"

Twitter can be a very tricky place for celebs for their tweets are closely followed. Check out other instances when celebs waged a Twitter war...

While the Amitabh Bachchan fans are elated over the actor taking away the National Award for his performance in the film ‘Piku,’ the ardent fans of Tollywood actor Vikram who stunned audiences with his act in Shankar’s ‘I’ stood up in his support highlighting his hard work that went in the role. While Big B played a constipated old man in the Shoojit Sarkar directorial, Vikram portrayed different avatars in ‘I’ of which his hunchback look was highly appreciated by film critics and fans alike.

Abhishek Bachchan was quick to respond. He wrote, "@BollywoodG***u here are the answers: 1. Nowhere 2. For your skill set? Hell yeah! 3. I don’t know. I unfollowed you years ago."

(contd.)

But the war of words did not just stop here. Karan Talwar further tweeted, "@juniorbachchan looks like you and I have a lot in common. Except whatever little I've made of myself - it's without my papas help." Junior Bachchan gave very apt reply to the tweet. "@BollywoodGandu and unlike you…. Whatever I am today is because of my family. And am very proud of that," he tweeted.

Anurag Kashyap recently expressed himself on social networking site Facebook with regards to the poor results of his latest release Bombay Velvet. Filmmaker RGV and Anurag had an interesting exchange of words on micro-blogging site Twitter about the same.

RGV @RGVzoomin:
‘A director standing by his film rejected by the audience is like him telling a girl "I love myself and I don't care if you don't love me"’

Anurag Kashyap @anuragkashyap72:
“@RGVzoomin sir i love you too much.. now put that Vodka aside and sleep.. lots of kisses”

RGV @RGVzoomin:
“@anuragkashyap72 well sir for ur info I stopped drinking ...I am not into kissing men but love you too”

(Disclaimer: All tweets have been sourced from Twitter and written as is)

Anurag Kashyap and Ram Gopal Varma reportedly had a huge fall out after Anurag co-wrote Satya with him. Post the debacle of RGV's Aag, Anurag had reportedly commented that he felt that Ramuji had lost it all in Aag. He had said that he couldn't see the Ramuji he used to know at all now and that he has stopped watching his films completely. However, now that Bombay Velvet failed to impress the critics and the audience alike, RGV took to Twitter to get even with Anurag. He tweeted, “Because I am 1st maker of AAG I think I have experience and right to lay them on a velvety cushion nd console the future AAGIANS…..My velvety tears for the maker of a disaster like AAG are for the tragedy,that by being the butt of it,he himself doesn't get to fuck it….The bottom line is everyone makes an AAG and till he makes his own AAG he will bitch about others AAGS until he too burns in his own AAG.”

While RGV has vented out, you must read all about Chetan Bhagat and Twinkle Khanna's witty word war on Twitter...

Author of bestselling novels, Chetan Bhagat was involved in a war of words with Twinkle Khanna. The online feud started when a user complemented Twinkle on her writing skills and wrote, “You are an amazing writer, you don’t need to change your name to Chetali Bhagat.” To which, Twinkle wrote, “I do! He gets to judge Nach Baliye and I get to judge if that gross thing on my floor is dog puke or poop #SuchIsLife.”

Chetan, who is the new judge on Nach Baliye 7, taunted the actress by tweeting, “Well, I’d say you have the bigger challenge girl.. By the way, how do you tell the difference between the two anyway?” Twinkle came up with an interesting reply, saying ,”It’s a short life-if lucky enough to get opportunities to do diverse things then one should @chetan_bhagat write a bestseller about it too.” Chetan was quick to point out Twinkle’s acting efforts, “You nailed it.. It is YOLO.. Nobody offered me Barsaat, or Baadshah… Else you know..”

The witty war of words took an interesting turn when Twinkle commented on his appearance. She wrote, "Well if u were taller,had more hair u could have got bobbydeol's role&if were way cooler,than Srk would be jobless:)"

While the exchange was very witty, Twitter wars can get ugly at times. Read on to know how a complaint was registered against a famous filmmaker for his tweet...

According to a report on Bollywoodlife.com, a follower of Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh of MSG: The Messenger fame, has registered a police complaint against Ram Gopal Varma. The filmmaker apparently called Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh 'an ass' on the social networking site Twitter, after watching the film. Earlier, RGV has been in trouble for his tweets about Lord Ganesha during Ganesh Chaturthi. The report further stated that the devotee of Dera Sacha Sauda head, from Lohara village of Ludhiana, named Jasbir Singh, filed an FIR against Ram Gopal Varma under section 298 of Indian Penal Code for hurting the religious sentiments of a particular community. Other followers of the Dera Sacha Sauda clan were also infuriated by Ramu's highly controversial tweet and are in no mood to pardon him, the report concluded.

But this is not the first time that celebs have taken to Twitter to wage a war against each other. Read on to know who else fought the war of words.

Kapil Sharma-Kamaal R Khan: KRK of Deshdrohi fame said that he's not on Twitter to be victimised, after getting into a Twitter fight with stand-up comedian Kapil Sharma. Explaining himself, KRK tweeted, "I never ever attack anybody. But yes I always defend myself. Krishna Ji said ki Zulm karna Bhi Gunah Hai n Zulm Sahna Bhi.If somebody attacks me n threaten me 2break my teeth n house then how do you ppl expect me to keep quiet? I am not here to become a victim."

Here's how the Twitter fight began between the two.

It all began with Kamaal R Khan posting about Kapil and his YRF film. Kamaal had posted, "When YRF asked @NargisFakhri to do film with @KapilSharmaK9 She was laughing loudly n said sorry I don't have dates." But that was not all, he further posted, "SMS of Nargis- I was shocked to hear offer of YRF to do film with comedian Kapil Sharma. I think they forgot tat I was launched with Ranbir." Later on KRK also put up screenshots of Kapils's tweets which said, "@kamaalrkhan call me.. if u have guts..i will show u.. How to deal with a punjabi guy :)" While the tweet was not visible on Kapil's account, KRK replied, "Kapil Bhai I was really scared. Believe Me bhai I am shivering till now."
To bring it to an end, Kapil had finally posted, "this is my last tweet to you... agar famous hona hai toh apne dum pe kuch kar... Dont use my name... Thappad bahut bhaari hai mera." However Kapil then deleted all his posts.

Let us look at Twitter wars between Bollywood bigwigs. Salman Khan vs Shah Rukh Khan: When Salman Khan hugged Shah Rukh, all their fans thought the war between the two Khans has come to an end. However, it seems like the war between SRK and Salman is still on, at least on Twitter. Apparently King Khan liked a comment posted by his fan against Salman on Twitter, thereby trying to downgrade his 'rival'. Apparently SRK’s fan had tweeted that he thought Salman lost respect after hosting a reality show. SRK apparently made the comment a favourite on Twitter that could escalate the tension between the two superstars.

Karan Johar vs Ram Gopal Verma: KJO and Ram Gopal Verma have never been friends. In fact they are rivals and favourite Twitter enemies. Their war of words started when Karan released 'My Name Is Khan' and 'Kurbaan'. Making fun of these movies, RGV said, “(have) got a better idea... I will make 'My name is Raavan' and Mani should make 'Raavan Ki Kurbaan'. “ KJo retorted by saying, “ You have an amazing sense of humour Ramu (Varma)! Never shows up in your films though RGV's rejoinder. RGV also slammed Karan’s ‘Student Of The Year’ by posting “If someone takes off from Karan Johar's Student of the Year and makes Teacher of the year it will become the Disaster of the year.” Karan also did not leave any stone unturned to insult RGV. He tweeted, “Disaster of the year is your territory Ramu...no one can ever replace the comfortable place you have made for yourself there.”

Arbaaz Khan vs Anurag Kashyap: Anurag Kashyap’s brother Abhinav rose to fame after his directorial debut ‘Dabangg’ became a blockbuster hit. However, Abhinav was later replaced by Salman’s brother Arbaaz to direct the sequel ‘Dabangg 2’. Anurag apparently lost his cool and posted a derogatory comment about Salman. This infuriated Arbaaz, who posted on Twitter that instead of showing gratitude, some people show attitude.

Sonam Kapoor vs Shobha De: Sonam Kapoor got the shock of her life when she was slammed by columnist Shobhaa De for her performance in ‘I Hate Luv Storys ‘. In her blog, Shobha had said that the girl lacks oomph. This infuriated Sonam, who then tweeted, “Guys please don't take Shobha De seriously. She's a fossil who's getting no action and going through menopause." However, the pretty actress later apologized for her tweet.

Ayesha Takia vs Sidhartha Mallya: Things turned ugly between the actress and son of Vijay Mallya, when Ayesha posted tweets against Mallya’s Kingfisher Airlines. It all started when Ayesha's sister complained that due to misbehaviour by airline staff she had to miss her flight. This led to the famous war of words between Ayesha and Sidhartha. While Ayesha posted tweets against the airlines and its staff, the young Mallya scion seemed confused about her identity. He had posted,” Been getting retweets about Ayesha Takia & KFA. Not too sure who she is, an actor of some sorts?? But it seems something has upset her!!”
