Earlier
today,
Rishi
Kapoor
passed
away
after
battling
cancer
for
two
years.
It
came
as
a
shock
when
Amitabh
Bachchan
tweeted
about
the
veteran
actor's
demise.
According
to
reports,
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Neetu
Kapoor
were
present
in
the
Hospital
at
the
time
of
Rishi
Kapoor's
passing.
As
soon
as
the
news
broke,
actress
Alia
Bhatt
was
seen
arriving
at
the
hospital,
to
show
her
support
during
these
difficult
times.
Alia's
car
was
snapped
arriving
at
the
hospital
earlier
today.
The
actress
has
been
dating
Ranbir
Kapoor
for
some
time
now
and
has
been
his
pillar
of
strength,
even
when
Rishi
Kapoor
was
undergoing
cancer
treatment.
Alia
was
often
seen
visiting
the
family
in
New
York,
and
spending
time
with
Ranbir,
Neetu
and
Rishi
whenever
she
could.
Back
then,
pictures
of
Ranbir,
Alia,
Neetu
Kapoor,
Rishi
Kapoor
and
Riddhima
Kapoor
Sahni
went
viral
on
social
media.
A
report
in
TOI
quoted
a
source
close
to
the
couple
as
saying,
"Ranbir
is
a
recluse.
He
isn't
very
expressive
unless
he's
with
his
mom
or
someone
very
close
to
him.
With
Alia
he
could
just
be
himself.
And
she
also
offered
him
all
the
support
to
deal
with
his
dads
illness
as
any
girlfriend
would."
The
source
added,
"Alia
had
his
blessings
and
that
meant
the
world
to
Ranbir.
Alia's
warmth,
her
energy
and
spunk
cheered
up
Rishi.
She
stayed
by
Ranbir's
side
for
the
last
three
weeks,
not
leaving
him
even
for
a
minute." Ranbir
and
Alia
were
rumoured
to
get
married
in
2020.
It
is
also
speculated
that
the
two
have
been
living
together
amid
the
lockdown.
The

from
the
Kapoor
family
about
Rishi
Kapoor's
demise
