Versatile and blessed with a star power unmatched by any other, Rishi Kapoor died at the age of 67 today in Mumbai.

The actor was being treated for cancer in the US and had returned only last year after having defeated it successfully. But alas, his journey was only this long.

When we talk about Rishi Kapoor's acting, we also can't not talk about his quirky style on social media, especially Twitter. It was possibly his favourite social media platform and he used it to its best capacity. Think of a big event, Rishi Kapoor would always have a tweet ready to talk about it.
