The
Kapoor
And
Mukesh
Family
Have
Been
Friends
Since
Generations
Neil
Nitin
Mukesh's
grandfather,
late
singer
Mukesh
shared
a
great
equation
with
the
late
Raj
Kapoor,
and
sang
for
him
in
almost
all
his
movies.
Over
the
years,
both
their
families
has
maintained
their
relationship
and
fondness
for
each
other.
Neil
Nitin
Mukesh
On
Rishi
Kapoor's
Death
The
actor
told
ETimes,
"It
is
a
big
loss
to
the
family,
to
the
industry
and
to
his
fans
all
across
the
world.
He
was
a
father
figure
and
everyone
knows
the
bond
the
Kapoor
and
Mukesh
family
share."
When
Rishi
Visited
Mukesh
Residence
For
Ganpati
Darshan
After
His
Return
From
New
York
"I
have
so
many
moments
and
memories
that
I
shared
with
him.
From
working
with
him
as
a
child
star
in
film
Vijay
directed
by
late
Mr.
Yash
Chopra
to
him
dancing
and
singing
at
my
wedding
and
his
devotion
towards
Ganpati
Bappa.
He
would
visit
our
home
without
fail.
In
fact
when
he
returned
from
America,
the
very
next
day,
he
was
home
for
Darshan,"
Neil
told
the
tabloid.
He
further
added,
"A
powerhouse
of
talent
and
the
only
actor
to
stand
his
own
ground
even
though
there
were
many
other
superstars
around,
he
has
been
one
of
my
biggest
inspirations.
No
one
portrayed
love
and
other
drama
emotions
as
beautifully
on
screen
as
him.
His
films
like
Karz,
Yeh
Wada
Raha,
Chandini
and
many
others
have
been
immortalized
by
his
presence."
Neil
Says
His
Father
Remembers
His
'Chintu' Every
Single
Day
Talking
how
his
father
is
coping
with
this
huge
loss
since
Rishi
and
Nitin
Mukesh
were
very
close
to
each
other,
Neil
said,
"My
father
has
been
extremely
upset
ever
since.
And
as
a
son,
I
feel
so
helpless
too
because
I
am
far
away
from
him
at
this
moment.
We
have
been
consciously
staying
separately
since
we
were
advised
to
do
so
having
a
baby
and
senior
citizens
both
at
home.
I
have
been
speaking
to
him
daily.
There
is
not
a
day
when
he
does
not
miss
his
CHINTU."
Further
revealing
that
his
father
Nitin
Mukesh
was
in
constant
touch
with
the
Bobby
star
during
his
last
times,
Neil
said,
"He
(Rishi
Kapoor)
was
and
will
be
in
our
hearts
and
memories
forever."
