Celebrities took to Twitter to post their views, albeit tongue-in-cheek ones, about the petrol price hike.


Petrol prices were hiked from yesterday midnight by Rs 7.50 per litre taking it to Rs 78.16 in Mumbai. This news gave another reason to celebrities to log on to one of the favourite networking sites - Twitter - and air their views.

Actor Kunal Kapoor had a suggestion for banks. He tweeted - Petrol is up to 78 rs per litre!!! Forget cars, banks need to come up with EMI schemes for petrol as well now!!!
