The meme which he says was shared with him by Abhishek Bachchan, has a picture of Hillary coughing into her hand, with the text, "Monika, is this right?," referring to former US President Bill Clinton's affair with White House intern, Monika Lewinsky.

Although the Kapoor & Sons star has a huge fan following on Twitter of over one million, and is known for his wit and humour, Rishi crossed a line with the meme, and Twitterati won't let him forget it.
Hah, #RishiKapoor has zero class.

Adding more fuel to the fire, Rishi hit back at the angry lot, telling them to delete him off Twitter if they don't like his tweet.

In his last attempt to defend himself, Rishi stated, "My forum is a fun one."
