Krishna Raj Kapoor, the widow of the legendary actor-filmmaker Raj Kapoor, passed away on Monday at the age of 87. She breathed her last following a cardiac arrest, as confirmed by her eldest son Randhir Kapoor. Although the entire Kapoor clan was present at the cremation of their matriarch, her son Rishi Kapoor, his wife Neetu Kapoor and son Ranbir Kapoor couldn't attend it.
Neetu, who is in the US where her husband Rishi Kapoor is undergoing treatment, shared a heartfelt post for her mother-in-law after she was unable to attend her funeral. Admiring Krishna Raj Kapoor for her "elegance, wit, generosity and warmth", Neetu termed her as a 'best-friend' who will always hold a special place in her heart. She also shared a picture of herself with the first lady of Bollywood.
