Belonging to the family of Raj Kapoor, greatest showman of Bollywood, Rishi Kapoor was born to be a charmer of hearts. The second son of the ace late filmmaker, Rishi gave films a new dimension through his charismatic presence and full of life persona. Born to Raj and Krishna Raj Kapoor (nee Malhotra), on September 4, 1952, the Chandni actor proved that he is made for the 70 mm screen and nobody can ever take films away from him. The uncle of Karisma Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Armaan Jain, Aadar Jain, Nikhil Nanda and Nitasha Nanda, Rishi, leaving behind an unmatched legacy in the Indian cinema, departed for his heavenly abode yesterday. The legend was diagnosed with leukemia in 2018 and was in New York City for his treatment till September last year. However, a hale and hearty Rishi suddenly took ill 3 weeks ago and was admitted to the hospital. Little did his wife Neetu Kapoor, daughter Riddhima Kapoor Sahni and son Ranbir Kapoor know that he shall never return home. 

Today, as we fondly remember the legendary actor Rishi aka Chintuji, we dug deep into beautiful memories of him via photos that one can cherish till eternity. While our hearts refuse to let him depart, these pictures from his childhood, with his family, keep him alive through our memories. So, sit back and remember the veteran actor who gave cinema a charismatic transformation with a charming smile.
