Rishi Kapoor denied the allegations of getting drunk on the auspicious occasion and even was quoted saying, "Ganpati visarjan by RK studios in Chembur is one of the biggest processions we’ve been doing for the last 64 years. There was a crowd following us and to top it, heavy rains. Then there was media hounding us into posing and giving bytes and getting in front of us while walking. When people don’t listen, what option do we have but to push? Even the police do the same." He even clarified that Ranbir did not slap or push even as he would not even hurt a fly!
