Zeba
Bakhtiar
Heartbroken
Over
Rishi
Kapoor's
Death
The
actress
told
Spotboye,
"It's
extremely
shocking!
Just
two
nights
before
his
death,
I
was
speaking
to
Daboo
(Randhir
Kapoor),
and
he
had
told
me
Rishi
is
getting
better."
She
revealed
that
she
was
regularly
in
touch
with
the
Bobby
star
and
said,
"Before
these
mobile
phones
came
into
our
lives,
I
used
to
call
him
on
his
land-line
phone
to
wish
him
on
his
birthday
and
Diwali.
And
once
the
trend
of
WhatsApp
started,
we
communicated
on
that
to
wish
each
other.
Also,
he
used
to
message
me
whenever
a
film
of
Ranbir
Kapoor
released
and
I
used
to
make
it
a
point
to
go
and
watch
it."
Zeba
On
Her
Working
Experience
With
Him
In
Henna
"I
consider
myself
very
fortunate
to
have
had
the
opportunity
to
work
with
Rishi
Kapoor.
It
was
a
tremendous
experience
working
with
him.
I
had
always
admired
him
as
a
hero
and
an
actor.
But
having
an
opportunity
to
work
with
him
was
nothing
less
than
a
delight
and
an
extremely
profound
learning
experience.
He
was
one
of
the
most
through
professionals
I
have
worked
with.
He
knew
everything
about
his
work
which
was
meticulous.
He
made
no
compromise
in
his
performances.
And
just
being
around
him
and
watching
him
work
was
an
education,"
Zeba
told
the
entertainment
portal.
Zeba
Reveals
How
She
Bagged
Henna
The
actress
was
quoted
as
saying,
"I
started
working
as
an
actress
in
Pakistan
television
and
the
first
show
I
did
was
titled
Anarkali.
The
video
cassette
of
that
play
was
showed
to
Raj
Kapoor
sahab
by
Mr.
Saeed
Jeffrey
and
later
I
was
recommended
to
him
by
Hasina
Moin,
the
Pakistani
writer
who
wrote
dialogues
for
Henna.
Unfortunately,
Raj
ji
passed
away
before
I
could
meet
him.
But
he
had
seen
my
work
and
initially
approved
of
it.
However,
when
I
went
to
India,
it
was
on
the
invitation
of
Randhir
Kapoor
to
audition
for
the
film.
By
the
grace
of
god,
I
was
selected."
The
Actress
Recalls
Her
First
Day
Of
Shoot
With
Rishi
Kapoor
"The
first
day
I
worked
with
Rishi
Kapoor
was
for
a
screen
shoot
and
a
photo
shoot
for
Henna.
I
was
totally
new
and
unfamiliar
with
everything,
so
I
was
very,
very
nervous.
But
he
made
it
quite
comfortable
for
me
and
encouraged
me
a
lot,
so
much
so
that
in
just
48
hours,
I
felt
like
the
Kapoor
family,
is
my
family,"
said
the
actress.
The
First
Indian
Film
Which
Zeba
Watched
Was
Rishi
Kapoor's
Kabhie
Kabhie
Zeba
recalled,
"The
first
Indian
film
I
ever
saw
was
Kabhi
Kabhi.
After
which
I
saw
Bobby
and
Karz.
It
was
not
easy
to
see
Indian
films
in
those
days
until
they
came
on
video.
But
they
were
much
sort
after
and
I
definitely
was
a
fan
of
Rishi
Kapoor
much
before
I
acted
with
him."
