and
his
girlfriend
Alia
Bhatt,
niece
Kareena

and

in
tears,
can

a

Alia
was
in
a
video
call
with
Ranbir's
sister
Riddhima
Kapoor,
who
could
not
make
it
to
the

Alia
had
done
a
similar
thing
when
Ranbir
could
not
attend
Krishna
Raj
Kapoor's
funeral
in
2018.
She
had
made
Ranbir
a
part

it

call.
Riddhima
was
permitted
to
travel
from
Delhi
to
Mumbai
but
could
not
make
it
in
time
for
the
funeral.
She
took
to
her
social
media
platforms
to
pay
her
final
respects
to
her
father,
as
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!
Until
we
meet
again
papa
I
love
you
-
your
Mushk
forever"
(sic).
She
shared
a
throwback
picture
with
Rishi.
Rishi
passed
away
at
8:45
AM
on
Thursday,
after
being
admitted
to
the
HN
Reliance
Foundation
Hospital
on
Tuesday
night.
Rishi
had
been
fighting
leukemia
for
two
years,
and
had
reportedly
recovered
after
receiving
marrow
treatment
in
New
York.
However,
the
actor
was
rushed
to
the
