Rishi Kapoor breathed his last at the age of 67 in Mumbai on April 30. The veteran actor was battling cancer for two years. Devastated by the sudden demise of Rishi, the family is coping up with the loss by standing together. Talking about the demise of her 'Chintu uncle', Kareena Kapoor Khan, during an interview, called it a 'terrible tragedy'. She further revealed that her husband Saif Ali Khan misses him more than her as he connected with the veteran on another level.
"It’s been a terrible tragedy. Like me Chintu uncle was a Virgo. He too believed in saying things as they were. If he loved your performance, he’d tell you so. If he hated your performance, he’d say he didn’t like it. Saif misses him a lot more because he connected with him on another level. They believed they were similar actors. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to work with him," Kareena told.
Kareena and Saif were amongst the first few family members to reach the hospital where Rishi passed away. For the unversed, Saif and Rishi worked together in Hum Tum, Thoda Pyaar Thoda Magic and Love Aaj Kal. The late actor is survived by his wife Neetu Kapoor, daughter Riddhima Kapoor Sahni and son Ranbir Kapoor.
