Arjun Kapoor lost his cool on Twitter when a troll attacked the actor when he was discussing a serious issue about the recent bridge collapse in Mumbai.

It all started with photographer Atul Kasbekar sharing an article about BMC and it's policies. To this Arjun replied saying, "I hope & pray this becomes a reality in mumbai city before it’s too late... we need to make our leaders & officers more accountable..."

Arjun Kapoor's anger touched the roof and he gave an unyielding reply to the troll, setting the record straight (in the process of which also used an expletive which has been expunged in this article). 

He wrote: "I built it with my own money & when we realised it was a cause of issue I broke it down with my own money. I didn’t cause pain,hurt or Death to any tax payer who was trying to make it home to see his kids! Humour aside have a conscience innocent people died."

For those unaware, the controversy above was in 2017. Parag Masurkar, assistant municipal commissioner of K (west) ward had then said, “We demolished the illegal structure on the terrace around 6pm on Monday and the terrace is now open.” Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) had issued a notice for illegally constructing a window wall and a metal sheet in the form of roof over his terrace. The demolition was carried out over four days.
