Shatrughan Sinha Reveals Why Ranbir Kapoor Cannot Be Compared To His Late Father Rishi Kapoor

Last week was a devastating one for the film industry, with the passing away of two cinematic gems- Irrfan Khan and Rishi Kapoor. Irrfan breathed his last because of a colon infection on April 29. The next day, on April 30, Rishi bid adieu to this world after battling leukemia for two years.

Shatrughan Sinha, who worked with Irrfan in Aan: Men At Work and Rishi Kapoor in multiple films, opened up about both the demises while speaking with Mumbai Mirror. He described Rishi as a star-actor and Irrfan as an actor-star.

Shotgun Sinha also spoke about Irrfan Khan's death and told the tabloid, "Irrfan was a combination of struggle, determination and conviction. He made his dream come true through hard work. I watched Hindi Medium and Angrezi Medium and his acting will be a textbook experience for younger generation of actors."

"I can't say no to Dharamji, he is a senior and an elder brother. I did that role out of respect for him. I was also supposed to make an appearance in a song, which featured the Deols with Salman Khan and Sonakshi. Unfortunately, I was in London and couldn't be a part of the song," he told Mumbai Mirror.
