To your beautiful family, Neetu Ma’am, Riddhima and Ranbir: the world grieves with you.” Priyanka remembered the versatile actor from the set of the Hrithik Roshan starrer film, "I had the privilege of working with him in Agneepath, in which he played a fierce, no-holds-barred character, someone to hate rather than love. The versatility of this genial man will never be experienced again.” "From his first leading role in 1973’s Bobby, he was the keeper of our hearts, ushering in a new era of romance in Hindi movies. His effervescence and flamboyance instantly set him apart. He was a hero who could feel without being maudlin. He was mischievous, rebellious, passionate—and he made falling in love seem so easy and so within our grasp." Kareena Kapoor shares an unseen photo of Rishi Kapoor with father Randhir, mother Babita "His charisma was in his extraordinary smile, one that made his fans go weak in the knees. And when he danced, he made us all want to jump up and join him," she added. Neetu Kapoor writes a heartfelt note to doctors who took care of her husband Rishi Kapoor Priyanka quoted Raj Kapoor's ‘Mera Naam Joker’, which saw Rishi essay the younger version of his father in the movie, and said, "As his father said in his legendary movie Mera Naam Joker, the show must go on”, and then thanked Rishi for all the magic, memories, and his candid heart. "I’m so grateful for having had the opportunity of knowing you personally as well—your candor, your laughter, your zest for life. That’s how I’ll always remember you. Farewell, Chintu uncle. Hindi cinema will never be the same," she concluded.

The doctors and medical staff said he kept them entertained to the last. He remained jovial and determined to live to the fullest right through two years of treatment across two continents. Family, friends, food and films remained his focus and everyone who met him during this time was amazed at how he did not let his illness get the better of him. He was grateful for the love of his fans that poured in from the world over. In his passing, they would all understand that he would like to be remembered with a smile and not with tears."</p>

<p>"In this hour of personal loss, we also recognise the world is going through a very difficult and troubled time. There are numerous restrictions around movement and gathering in public. We would like to request all his fans and well-wishers and friends of the family to please respect the laws that are in force. He would not have it any other way," it further read.</p>

Bollywood actor Rishi Kapoor was cremated at the Chandanwadi Crematorium, Marine Lines on Thursday evening- hours after he breathed his last in a hospital in Mumbai.

Bollywood actor Rishi Kapoor was cremated at the Chandanwadi Crematorium, Marine Lines on Thursday evening- hours after he breathed his last in a hospital in Mumbai. Exactly 20 people were allowed to attend his funeral ceremony. His son, Ranbir Kapoor did the last rites and his wife Neetu Singh was present at the crematorium. The actor's daughter Riddhima is still on her way to Mumbai from Delhi. Earlier in the day, Riddhima’s cousin Kareena Kapoor Khan and husband Saif Ali Khan were spotted outside the hospital, soon after the news of Rishi Kapoor’s death came out. Also, Rishi’s son, Ranbir Kapoor’s girlfriend Alia Bhatt was also spotted outside the hospital. They then headed towards the crematorium. Also seen are son Ranbir Kapoor, wife Neetu Kapoor, nephews Armaan and Aadar Jain, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Ambani and filmmaker Ayan Mukerji, who is Ranbir's closest friend. Rishi Kapoor's last tweet was an 'appeal' and it makes us teary-eyed 'Terrible week for Indian cinema': Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Chopra, Rajinikanth and others pay tribute to Rishi Kapoor Meanwhile, Rishi Kapoor’s family had earlier issued a statement saying: The statement earlier released by Rishi's family said, "Our dear Rishi Kapoor passed away peacefully at 8.45 am IST in hospital today after a two-year battle with leukemia. The doctors and medical staff said he kept them entertained to the last. He remained jovial and determined to live to the fullest right through two years of treatment across two continents. Family, friends, food and films remained his focus and everyone who met him during this time was amazed at how he did not let his illness get the better of him. He was grateful for the love of his fans that poured in from the world over. In his passing, they would all understand that he would like to be remembered with a smile and not with tears." "In this hour of personal loss, we also recognise the world is going through a very difficult and troubled time. There are numerous restrictions around movement and gathering in public. We would like to request all his fans and well-wishers and friends of the family to please respect the laws that are in force. He would not have it any other way," it further read.

Rishi Kapoor cremated in Mumbai, son Ranbir Kapoor performs last rites

<p>The thread that succinctly bound Raj Kapoor's oeuvre in Indian cinema is the manner with which his scripts ensured the leading lady got an equal footing, if not more, in the narrative. With 'Prem Rog' -- a film based on the concept of widow remarriage, his largesse had a superlative Padmini Kolhapure playing the role of a lifetime and Rishi Kapoor as her 'knight in shining armour'.</p>

<p>As much as the movie was about Raj Kapoor's genius and Kolhapure's brilliance as Manorama, Rishi's idealistic Devdhar was the perfect refuge for the male chauvinism that had been plaguing the movies back then.</p>

<p>There's one scene in the climactic sequence of the film that comes to mind -- Devdhar stands in front of Manorama's uncle, and shows him a certain mirror.</p>

<p>The <em>niji maamla</em> in question -- Manorama's remarriage.</p>

Why Devdhar of 'Prem Rog' is Rishi Kapoor's best work

<p>It’s sad and unprecedented when we think of what Bollywood has been facing in the last two days. First Irrfan Khan and then Rishi Kapoor, Bollywood was not even over the loss of Irrfan when news of Rishi Kapoor came out.</p>

<p>Now, the 67-year-old actor has been put to rest amid the presence of merely 20 people -- family members and close friends who have been granted permission by the Mumbai police. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/rishi-kapoors-funeral-heres-the-list-of-20-people-who-will-attend-the-actors-last-rites-295825">Here's the list of 20 people who attended the actor's last rites.&nbsp;</a></p>

<p>While we discuss such a grave loss to the film industry, it is spooky to think that he sort of hinted at a low-key funeral. Remember his tweet when his good friend Vinod Khanna passes away?</p>

<p>Vinod Khanna had died on April 27, 2017 when Rishi Kapoor had tweeted about his lacklustre funeral in the wee hours of April 28. He had then angrily tweeted, "Shameful, Not one actor of this generation attended Vinod Khanna's funeral. And that too he has worked with them. Must learn to respect.”</p>

<p><img alt="rishi kapoor tweet" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="8144c268-1e8c-4360-b4fc-13d7b699ab07" src="//cdn.wionews.com/sites/default/files/inline-images/HORIZONS-49.jpg" /></p>

<p>In a second tweet, Rishi Kapoor added, "Why this? Including mine and thereafter. When I die, I must be prepared. None will shoulder me. Very very angry with today's so called stars."</p>

<p>Now, fans are quick to point out that in a way, Rishi Kapoor had hinted at a similar funeral. The reasons are quite different though as now, in spite of people wanting to show their love for the star, could not attend his funeral owing to coronavirus scare.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In their official statement this morning, the Kapoor family also urged his fans to follow the laws currently in place due to the nationwide lockdown.</p>
