Mammootty pays his tribute to Rishi Kapoor!
Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor passed away earlier in the day after batting with cancer for over a year. The 67-year-old breathed his last at the HN Reliance Foundation Hospital in Mumbai. Condolences are pouring in on social medias. Malayalam superstar Mammootty has penned a brief note about how used to look up to Rishi Kapoor and his admiration for him. His Facebook post reads,
The biggest romantic icon of the 70s. I’ve been a fan and keenly observed him and he was my favourite of all the Kapoors up until his generation. His growth from romantic hero to the roles and performances he matured to showed the calibre of the actor in him. A devastating loss. My condolences and prayers with the entire Kapoor family.
Rishi Kapoor is a veteran of over 100 hundreds who has bagged numerous awards including a National award. He was first diagnosed with cancer in 2018. He underwent a year-long treatment in New York and returned to Mumbai last September. He is survived by his wife Neetu Singh and two children, actor Ranbir Kapoor and designer Riddhima Kapoor Sahani.
