Rishi
Kapoor
and
Randhir
Kapoor's
youngest
brother
Rajiv
Kapoor
passed
away
on
Tuesday
(February
9,
2021).
He
was
58.
Many
members
of
the
Bollywood
fraternity
had
arrived
at
the
late
actor's
Chembur
residence
to
pay
their
final
respects
while
they
also
paid
their
tributes
through
emotional
posts
on
their
social
media
handles.
It
is
also
a
personal
loss
for
actor
Neil
Nitin
Mukesh,
whose
association
with
Rajiv
Kapoor
goes
long
back.
The
late
actor
was
a
dear
friend
of
Neil's
father,
Nitin
Mukesh
and
was
thus
an
extremely
close
family
friend.
Notably,
today
marks
the
fourth
wedding
anniversary
of
Neil
Nitin
Mukesh
and
his
wife
Rukmini.
However,
owing
to
the
unfortunate
demise
of
Rajiv
Kapoor,
the
couple
has
cancelled
all
the
celebrations
for
the
same.
Talking
to
Bollywood
Life
about
the
same,
the
actor
revealed
that
his
entire
family
is
in
shock
and
that
there
will
be
no
celebrations
this
year.
He
also
added
that
'Rajiv
Uncle'
was
a
dear
family
friend.
Neil
also
shared
a
heartfelt
tribute
for
the
Ram
Teri
Ganga
Maili
actor
on
his
social
media
account.
Neil
Nitin
Mukesh
shared
some
happy
memories
with
the
late
actor
from
his
wedding
day.
He
shared
a
series
of
pictures
on
his
social
media
handle
wherein
the
late
Rajiv
Kapoor
along
with
his
brother
Rishi
Kapoor
had
attended
Neil's
wedding
four
years
ago.
The
pictures
will
inevitably
leave
one
teary-eyed.
Along
with
the
post,
the
New
York
actor
also
had
a
touching
message.
Neil
wrote
in
the
caption,
"Such
a
big
loss
for
our
family.
We
lost
our
most
beloved
Chimpu
Uncle
today.
You
have
left
us
with
nothing
but
the
most
fond
memories
of
you.
I
will
truly
miss
you
loads.
Love
you
forever
Chimpu
Uncle."
