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, Shilpa Shetty Kundra, Kajol, Preity Zinta, Nawazuddun Siddiqui, Malaika Arora and Chunky Panday have expressed their grief on Twitter.
This is the worst phase for the Indian Cinema, it’s an end to an era.
Was fortunate to have worked with him in #Manto and shall cherish those beautiful moments throughout my life
