Internet is a crazy world, where anyone and everyone can become a celebrity. Remember the Pakistani 'Pawri ho rahi hai' girl, and Yashraj Mukhate - the man behind 'Rasode Mein Kaun Tha' mashup?
On one hand, some people gain popularity because of their talent, KRK, on the other hand, became a celebrity from a nobody because of his foul mouth and Twitter account.

Who is KRK?
We have seen him act in a film called Deshdrohi. We have also seen him lose control of his anger in Bigg Boss on Rohit Verma. He was one of the most controversial contestants who was also one of the first to be kicked out of the show because of his violent behaviour. His full name is Kamaal Rashid khan. He is an actor as well as a producer. He made his debut as a producer with the 2005 movie Sitam and also made a guest appearance in Ek Villain starring Sidharth Malhotra and Shraddha Kapoor in lead roles.
Good time to tell all fools who r talking of a tweet that I didn't tweet, u suck as much as the grammar of that fake tweet & I'm being kind.

In his own parallel world, he thinks of himself as a big star like SRK. If reports are to be believed, his bungalow in Dubai is called Jannat. For the unversed, SRK's bungalow in Mumbai is called Mannat.
What does he do apart from badmouthing celebrities on social media?
Twitter
As per reports, he had left his home in Deoband, Uttar Pradesh to become an actor. When he failed at that, he got into the import-export business from Gulf countries. Apart from import-export of garments, he also supplies manpower to Dubai reportedly.
He also has a YouTube channel where he mostly posts reviews of Bollywood films.
He recently reviewed Salman Khan's latest release Radhe. While he claims that Khan has filed a defamation case against him because of his review, Khan's spokesperson said that the case has been filed for "spreading malicious falsehoods" about Khan and his NGO Being Human.
Twitter
Apart from threatening Salman Khan of ending his career in films, here are other times he made headlines for all the wrong reasons.
1. Once he spread rumours about Shah Rukh Khan and got a savage reply from him.
Good time to tell all fools who r talking of a tweet that I didn't tweet, u suck as much as the grammar of that fake tweet & I'm being kind.
¡ª Shah Rukh Khan (@iamsrk) May 18, 2014
During the General Elections 2014, he tweeted that he would leave India if Narendra Modi becomes prime minister. On May 18, he posted a fabricated screenshot of that tweet replacing his name with that of Shah Rukh Khan.
2. In 2017, Ajay Devgn had shared an audio clip of KRK in conversation with producer Kumar Mangat.
Hear what self proclaimed no. 1 critic and trade analyst Kamaal R Khan has to say. https://t.co/wRc7moSlsZ
¡ª Ajay Devgn (@ajaydevgn) September 1, 2016
In the clip, KRK had admitted that Karan Johar gave him money to spread negativity about Ajay Devgn's Shivaay, which clashed at the box office with Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.
3. Vikram Bhatt had slapped a defamation case against him in 2016.
This happened after he posted a review of 1920 London. "He decided to do a review of me instead of the film. He made absurd insinuations ¡ª called me a fraud, a pimp and other unsavory names," Bhatt said on social media. KRK had then apologised on Twitter.
4. An FIR was filed against him for his vulgar comments on the LGBTQ community in 2018.
He was booked for promoting communal disharmony, hate speech, obscenity, and defamation under the Indian Penal Code.
5. Sunny Leone had also filed a case against him.
This happened after Khan had written, "I request to Digvijay Singh Ji to have a strip show of Sunny Leone in the function of his marriage and I will pay Rs 1 crore to the Congress party fund,"
6. His derogatory caste-based remarks against Dhanush in a film review about Raanjhanaa.
"Sir, I don't know whether you (Anand L Rai, the film's director) are from UP or not, but I am. In the whole of UP, you will find cobblers and sweepers who look like Dhanush but you will not find a single Brahmin of such dirty looks as him in entire UP," he had said.
W.C. Fields once rightly said, "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit."
