Prem
Chopra
Recalls
His
Last
Meeting
With
The
Late
Actor
The
veteran
actor
said,
"Think
of
it,
he
was
sick
since
2
years.
But
yes,
I
met
him
soon
after
he
had
come
back
from
his
treatment
in
the
US.
It
was
my
birthday,
September
23
(2019),
and
he
had
come
to
my
house. After
that,
I
had
gone
to
his
place.
He
was
looking
very
nice
and
told
me
there
that
he
was
clear
as
far
as
the
cancer
was
concerned.
But
he
added
that
his
immunity
had
gone
down
and
he
needed
to
take
rest.
After
that,
he
contracted
pneumonia
and
was
hospitalized."
Prem
Chopra
Remembers
The
Bobby
Star
As
Someone
Who
Never
Minced
Words
Calling
Rishi
Kapoor's
death
a
'tremendous
loss',
he
further
added, It's
a
tremendous
loss.
He
was
very
close
to
me.
He
was
a
very
intelligent
actor,
who
also
worked
very
hard.
He
had
a
mind
of
his
own,
never
minced
words.
He
would
express
his
views,
openly. It
did
make
some
people
misunderstand
him
but
they
used
to
come
back
later
and
say
they've
understood
his
perspective."
