Rishi Kapoor passed away at Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital in Mumbai at the age of 67 on Thursday. He fought a long battle with cancer. 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.

After Rishi Ji's demise, several old photos and videos of the actor went viral. But what was upsetting was when a video of him in the ICU at H N Reliance Hospital started flooding on the internet. Film body, Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) has raised a protest against the H N Reliance hospital for the same. The association is upset after the video was leaked online. 

Indian Film & Television Directors’ Association (IFTDA) president and filmmaker Ashoke Pandit called the video unethical and wrote, “@fwice_mum raises protest over viral video of #RishiKapoor ji in ICU at HN hospital. The video is unethical -without permission &violates fundamental right to live with dignity-privacy of a legend who lived a glorious & dignified life& loved, regarded, held in high esteem by all.”
