Rishi Kapoor No More: Chiranjeevi, Ram Charan And Other Tollywood Celebs Mourn The Loss
Much before the world could come to terms with the sudden death of actor Irrfan Khan on April 29, another legendary actor of Bollywood - Rishi Kapoor - passed away on April 30. The 67-year-old actor, who was suffering from cancer, had been admitted to the HN Reliance Hospital in Mumbai recently. His elder brother, actor Randhir Kapoor confirmed the news of Rishi Kapoor's death, saying, "He is no more. He has passed away."
Rishi Kapoor had returned from the US after undergoing cancer treatment for almost two years. His demise has sent shock waves in the entire film industry, including Tollywood. Here is how some of the celebrities reacted to the sorrowful news.

Rishi Kapoor was shooting for Sharmaji Namkeen in Delhi when he fell ill again earlier this year and was moved to a hospital in Mumbai. There were also reports suggesting that the actor was battling a cancer relapse.
Rishi Kapoor debuted in his father Raj Kapoor's 1970 film Mera Naam Joker, playing his father's role as a child. He received the National Film Award for the role. Rishi Kapoor had his first lead role in the 1973 film Bobby opposite Dimple Kapadia. He was also a part of popular films like Amar Akbar Anthony, Rafoo Chakkar, Sargam, Karz, Laila Majnu, Chandni, Bol Radha Bol, and many more over the years. His recent work as a character artiste in films like Agneepath, Do Dooni Chaar, Kapoor & Sons, Mulk, etc was much appreciated.
Rishi Kapoor is survived by wife Neetu Singh and children Ranbir Kapoor and Riddhima Kapoor Sahani.
