Krishna Raj Kapoor, wife of late legendary filmmaker Raj Kapoor, passed away on Monday (October 1) morning at the age of 87 following a cardiac arrest. She used to live in the ancestral Kapoor home in Chembur area of Mumbai and is survived by her five children - Randhir Kapoor, Ritu Kapoor Nanda, Rishi Kapoor, Rima Kapoor Jain and Rajiv Kapoor.
Now as the entire nation mourns her death which has left an irrevocable void in the Bollywood fraternity, we came across a throwback video from 2013, when the entire Kapoor khandaan got together for a leading magazine's photo shoot. The BTS video will certainly leave you teary-eyes as it was probably the last time that the Kapoor matriarch was clicked with all her children and grandchildren.

The entire family comes and we spend the entire day there chatting, speaking about each other's work and experience."
