HERE’S WHAT KRK TWEETED:

It has been reported that KRK’s 2020 tweet (now deleted) was against Rishi Kapoor and Irrfan Khan. He had asked Rishi Kapoor to not die, as the wine shops are about to open soon amid the coronavirus outbreak. While that was not it, KRK in another tweet wrote that Coronavirus cannot go away without taking the lives of famous personalities. “Just on a serious note, I said few days ago that #Corona can’t go back without taking few famous people. I didn’t write names that time because ppl could have abused me. But I knew that Irfan and Rishi will go. And I know, who is the next one also”, KRK had tweeted.
