After
a
two-year
long
battle
with
leukemia,
veteran
actor
Rishi
Kapoor
breathed
his
last
at
a
Mumbai
hospital
on
Thursday
(April
30).
The
evergreen
star's
demise
is
a
huge
blow
to
the
film
industry.
As
soon
as
the
news
of
Rishi's
death
hit
the
internet,
condolences
poured
in
on
social
media,
as
various
celebrities
shared
their
fond
memories
of
the
Chandni
actor.
Bollywood
star
Sanjay
Dutt,
took
to
his
Instagram
page
to
pen
an
emotional
note
describing
their
relationship
over
the
years.
He
wrote,
"Dear
Chintu
sir,
You
have
been
an
inspiration
to
me
throughout
my
life
and
career.
You
have
taught
me
to
live
life
to
the
fullest
and
to
face
life
even
when
I
was
going
through
my
low
days.
I
had
the
honour
to
work
with
you
in
many
films
where
you
always
guided
me.
You
fight
against
cancer
has
been
long.
But
you
never
made
me
feel
once
that
you
were
suffering
even
when
I
spoke
to
you
in
New
York...
even
at
that
time
you
were
so
full
of
life.
Recalling
their
last
meeting,
he
further
added,
"The
last
time
I
met
you
at
home
a
few
months
back
for
dinner,
you
were
still
so
concerned
about
me.
You
have
always
cared
for
me.
Today
is
the
saddest
day
for
me
because
I
have
lost
a
family
member,
a
friend,
a
brother
and
a
person
who
showed
me
to
live
life
with
a
smile
no
matter
what.
I
will
miss
you
Chintu
sir.
May
God
bless
you
and
may
you
always
be
happy
in
heaven.
I
love
you
Chintu
sir.
Always
will."
Last
year,
post
Rishi's
return
from
New
York
where
he
was
stationed
for
his
cancer
treatment,
Dutt
had
paid
a
visit
to
him
at
his
Mumbai
residence.
Later,
Rishi's
wife
Neetu
Kapoor
had
posted
a
picture
and
captioned
it
as,
"Feels
great
when
friends
come
over
to
just
say
How
much
they
love
you
How
much
they
missed
you
💕🥰."
