Indian cinema lost another icon. A day after the passing of Irrfan Khan, veteran actor Rishi Kapoor breathed his last after his long battle with Leukaemia on April 30, 2020 at the age of 67. The actor was survived by his wife Neetu Kapoor and two kids – Ranbir Kapoor and Riddhima Kapoor Sahni. His funeral rites were performed by Ranbir Kapoor on Thursday afternoon in presence of Neetu, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Randhir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, Ayan Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan and some close family members.
After the religious ceremonies were completed, Abhishek Bachchan took to social media to pen heartfelt tribute to the actor who was not just a co-star for him but like a father figure. He wrote on Instagram, “The true measure of a great man is… When upon his passing, you don’t just remember him, but you remember yourself with him!

You just have to cherish the moments together and the memories. I will always…”
