Rishi Kapoor passed away at Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital in Mumbai at the age of 67 today morning. He fought a long battle with cancer. Yesterday, his brother Randhir Kapoor confirmed to a news agency that the actor had been taken to hospital in the morning as he was not keeping well. The actor complained of breathing problem on Wednesday morning and was later diagnosed with mild fever and symptomatic chest infection. Rishi's wife Neetu Kapoor was by his side in the hospital.
Bollywood is shocked to hear this news and his friends from the industry are mourning over his demise. Now, Ajay Devgn, Taapsee Pannu, John Abraham and Riteish Deshmukh have expressed their grief on Twitter.
One blow after another. Rishi ji’s passing away is nothing short of a stab to my heart. We associated in Raju Chacha (2000) and stayed in touch through...until now. Condolences to Neetuji, Ranbir, Riddhima & Dabbooji

Been trying to write something n I can’t put my mind n hands in sync. More like the heart in between is just not able to comprehend this. That laugh, that sense of humour, the honesty and even the bully he was , will be missed. No one like you #RishiKapoor
