Rishi
Kapoor
and
Randhir
Kapoor's
younger
brother
Rajiv
Kapoor's
passing
away
on
February
9,
2021
has
left
the
entire
film
industry
in
a
state
of
gloom.
He
was
58.
Interestingly,
Rishi
Kapoor,
who
passed
away
in
April
2020,
had
penned
some
revelations
about
Rajiv
Kapoor
in
his
autobiography
titled,
'Khullam
Khulla:
Rishi
Kapoor
Uncensored'.
From
his
relationship
with
Rajiv
to
the
latter's
many
skills,
Rishi
Kapoor
had
shared
it
all.
Talking
about
the
same,
Rishi
Kapoor
had
revealed
that
he
was
closer
to
his
elder
brother
Randhir
Kapoor
than
Rajiv
Kapoor,
who
was
the
youngest
of
the
five
siblings.
Rishi
had
mentioned
how
he
shared
an
'uneasy'
relationship
with
Rajiv
but
that
they
were
able
to
bridge
that
gap
over
the
period
of
time.
Apart
from
that,
the
Karz
actor
had
also
stated
that
he
felt
sad
that
Rajiv
never
understood
his
true
potential
despite
having
an
uncanny
ear
for
music.
Rishi
had
revealed
how
Rajiv
could
play
the
piano
superbly.
On
this,
Rishi
had
written,
"I
worry
a
lot
about
Chimpu
(Rajiv's
nickname)
and
feel
sad
that
he
has
never
been
able
to
realize
his
true
potential.
He
is
the
most
talented
of
us
and
has
an
uncanny
ear
for
music.
He
plays
the
piano
superbly
without
ever
learning
it."
Apart
from
that,
Rishi
Kapoor
was
also
all
praise
for
Rajiv
Kapoor's
film
editing
skills
in
his

Rajiv's
editing
skills
during
the
making
of
his
directorial

Ab
Laut
Chalen
(1999)
starring
Aishwarya
Rai

Khanna.
Rishi
had
stated,
"He
did
a
commendable
job
as
an
editor
on
my
film
Aa
Ab
Laut
Chalen
and
could
have
been
the
best
in
the
field,
if
only
he
had
applied
himself
better."
