Har cheez Gandhi ke naam? I don’t agree. Sochna log!<br /><br />“Film City should be named Dilip Kumar, Dev Anand,Ashok Kumar ya Amitabh Bachchan ke naam? Rajeev Gandhi udyog Kya hota hai? Socho doston!,” he said.<br /><br />Kapoor said even Delhi’s international airport should be named after personalities like Bhagat Singh or Bhimrao Ambedkar. “Why Indira G airport International ?
