The
demise
of
Rishi
Kapoor
is
a
huge
loss
to
the
Hindi
film
industry.
This
loss
is
being
felt
not
just
by
fans
and
audiences,
who
got
to
watch
him
on
screen,
but
also
Rishi
Kapoor's
friends
and
colleagues
in
the
industry,
who
valued
his
incredible
presence.
In
a
recent
interview,
filmmaker
Mukesh
Bhatt
said
that
there
cannot
be
another
copy
of
Rishi,
and
he
was
grateful
to
have
met
him
in
his
life.
Speaking
to
SpotboyE,
Mukesh
said,
"He
was
a
man
who
like
Bhatt
saab
(Mahesh
Bhatt)
and
I,
never
minced
words.
He
said
things
not
to
down
people.
He
said
things
what
he
felt.
But
what's
wrong
with
that?
I
have
so
many
memories
about
him.
And
so
many
times,
good
memories
tend
to
give
you
pain."
He
also
spoke
about
how
Rishi
encouraged
people
to
live
in
the
moment.
"He
always
used
to
say,
'Arre
yaar,
leave
it.
Even
this
shall
pass
away.
Maze
le.
Let's
enjoy
the
moment'.
I
hope
that
we
all
start
thinking
like
him.
You
can't
make
a
xerox
copy
of
Chintu.
I
am
happy
and
lucky
that
I
met
him
in
my
life.
You
know
what?
People
whom
you
genuinely
love
never
die
for
you.
Rishi
will
live
in
my
heart
forever," he
added.
Rishi
Kapoor
breathed
his
last
on
April
30,
2020
at
8:45
am.
The
veteran
actor
had
been
battling
leukemia
for
two
years
and
received
treatment
for
it
in
New
York
City.
Rishi
left
in
the
presence
of
his
wife
Neetu
Kapoor
and
son
Ranbir
Kapoor.
His
daughter
Riddhima
Kapoor
was
in
New
Delhi
and
therefore
could
not
make
it
in
time
for
his
funeral.
However,
she
shared
that
she
is
driving
down
from
Delhi
to
Mumbai
to
mourn
with
her
family.
