In
a
matter
of
two
days,
Bollywood
lost
two
of
its
greatest
actors.
Critically
acclaimed
actor
Irrfan
Khan
passed
away
on
April
29,
and
just
a
day
later,
on
April
30,
the
original
'chocolate
boy'
of
Bollywood,
Rishi
Kapoor
breathed
his
last.
Condolence
messages
have
been
pouring
in
for
the
two
stars.
One
of
the
Indian
film
industry's
greatest
music
composers,
A
R
Rahman,
is
sorry
to
not
have
paid
his
final
respects
to
both
actors.
IANS
quoted
Rahman
as
saying,
"It
is
so
unfortunate
that
at
this
time
nobody
can
even
go
for
the
funerals.
They
gave
so
much
of
themselves
for
the
people
to
see,
and
it
is
such
an
unfortunate
time
(that
we
couldn't
even
attend
the
funeral)."
He
added,
"It
is
the
holy
month
of
Ramadan,
in
a
way
they
are
blessed."
Irrfan
Khan
succumbed
to
colon
infection,
a
complication
of
his
cancer.
He
had
been
diagnosed
with
neuroendocrine
tumour
in
2018,
and
had
been
receiving
treatment
in
the
UK.
The
actor
passed
away
at
the
age
of
54.
His
funeral
was
attended
by
comedian
Kapil
Sharma,
actor
Rajpal
Yadav,
singer
Mika
Singh
and
filmmakers
Vishal
Bhardwaj
and
Tigmanshu
Dhulia.
On
the
other
hand,
Rishi
Kapoor's
funeral
saw
the
presence
of
his
wife
Neetu
Kapoor,
son
Ranbir
Kapoor
with
girlfriend
Alia
Bhatt,
niece
Kareena
Kapoor
Khan
and
her
husband
Saif
Ali
Khan,
brother
Randhir
Kapoor,
and
other
family
members.
His
daughter
Riddhima
Kapoor
Sahni
was
unable
to
attend
the
funeral,
as
she
was
in
Delhi
at
the
time.
She
later
drove
down
to
Mumbai
to
be
with
her
family
in
these
difficult
times,
with
special
permission
to
travel
in
the
lockdown.
