2020 has been taking a great toll on us and it seems that the loss will be ir-repairable. After Irrfan Khan’s sudden demise yesterday, today Rishi Kapoor passed away in a hospital in Mumbai at the age of 67. He fought a long battle with cancer. Yesterday, his brother Randhir Kapoor confirmed to news agency PTI that the actor had been taken to hospital in the morning. “He is in the hospital. He is suffering from cancer and he has some breathing problem, so he has been admitted to the hospital. He is stable now,” Randhir Kapoor told PTI. Rishi Kapoor belonged to a film dynasty that spans several generations – his father, Raj Kapoor, was among India’s most revered actors and filmmakers.
Rishi Kapoor’s longtime friend and co-star of films such as Amar Akbar Anthony Amitabh Bachchan tweeted, “He’s gone. Rishi Kapoor, gone, just passed away. I am destroyed.”
However, he deleted the Tweet later.
