Neetu Kapoor raised a toast to husband, and legendary actor Rishi Kapoor, who passed away last week following a two-year-long battle with leukaemia. Sharing a photo of Rishi, smiling at the camera with a glass of whisky in hand, she posted “End of our story”.
News of Kapoor's death shocked Bollywood to its core. His daughter, Riddhima, who lives in Delhi and could not make it to his funeral, shared messages for him on social media. She wrote, “Papa I love you I will always love you – RIP my strongest warrior I will miss you everyday I will miss your FaceTime calls everyday! I wish I could be there to say goodbye to you ! Until we meet again papa I love you – your Mushk forever.”
Kapoor's funeral was attended by family and other members of the media fraternity, including his son Ranbir, elder brother Randhir, Kareena Kapoor Khan along with husband Saif Ali Khan, Amitabh Bachchan, and Ranbir's girlfriend Alia Bhatt. Bhatt later gave a tribute on Instagram, honouring the late actor.
Rishi's family issued a statement after his death, saying, “Our dear Rishi Kapoor passed away peacefully at 8:45am IST in hospital today after a two-year battle with leukemia. The doctors and medical staff at the hospital said he kept them entertained to the last. He remained jovial and determined to live to the fullest right through two years of treatment across two continents. Family, friends, food and films remained his focus and everyone who met him during this time was amazed at how he did not let his illness get the better of him.”
