I don't mind taking autos says Shekhar Kapoor
Acclaimed filmmaker Shekhar Kapur finds it silly to own a car in Mumbai and says he does not need them to prove his self-esteem.
Acclaimed filmmaker Shekhar Kapur finds it silly to own a car in Mumbai and says he does not need them to prove his self-esteem.
A Twitter user wrote to Kapur: "I derive a strange comfort to know to know that celebs like you still use a rickshaw."
To which the filmmaker replied: "I don't own a car. It's silly to own a car in Mumbai. It takes 600,000 litres to make an average size car. Shouldn't we use that water to grow food instead?" A social media troll then questioned him about him not having a car and said that "Bollywood celebrities have 20 plus imported cars".
Kapur, who has made films like 'Bandit Queen', 'Masoom' and 'Mr India', replied: "I don't need to own 20 imported cars to prove my self- esteem." Another user asked him if he uses rickshaws.
Kapur said: "I don't own a car. So often will use ricks."
