Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor, who had posted angry tweets after stars from the younger generation didn’t make it to Vinod Khanna’s funeral last week, was at peace with the attendance at the late actor-politician’s prayer meet here. Rishi thanked members of the Hindi film fraternity for showing solidarity towards the family of Vinod Khanna’s family. “Thank you my film brethren for your solidarity shown towards the Khanna family. Hum mein ab bhi insaniyat baaki hai (We still have humanity left in us). Love you all,” Rishi tweeted on Wednesday night.
