Papa and Chintu uncle ❤️❤️ A post shared by Kareena Kapoor Khan (@kareenakapoorkhan) on Apr 30, 2020 at 2:02am PDT × View this post on Instagram I was 7 years old and overheard that my parents were invited to see a preview of “Duniya meri Jeb mein”...it starred my favourite Rishi kapoor...it was school night and my very particular mother refused to let me come with her....I threw such a tantrum because i couldn’t bear the fact that I was being disallowed from seeing a Chintu kapoor film...the parents finally succumbed...i went ....with stars in my eyes...like i had every time I saw him on celluloid...he was my HERO! The very handsome,the exceptionally charming,the eternally Romantic RISHI KAPOOR...my childhood was dedicated to watching him sing his songs with abandon, wearing his printed sweaters and dancing in my bedroom.....doing the dafliwalle routine with a dinner plate in front of my school friends...and finally nearly fainting when I met him for the first time in Cochin on the sets of my fathers film DUNIYA...I looked at him like he was a monument that I wanted to keep marvelling at....when i directed him in SOTY i shed a tear silently after he gave his first shot ... a major childhood dream was actualised ....today i feel like an irreplaceable void has crept into my existence...a piece of my growing years has been snatched away....i am honoured to love him...to know him...to have a drink and reminisce with him....I still will .. how can the romance of Indian Cinema ever leave us? Never. Dard -e dil....but this legendary legacy will live on! I LOVE YOU RISHI KAPOOR!❤️❤️❤️ A post shared by Karan Johar (@karanjohar) on Apr 29, 2020 at 11:14pm PDT × View this post on Instagram Rest in peace Chintu uncle.. All my love to you. I’m so sorry we all couldn’t say bye properly. A post shared by Sonam K Ahuja (@sonamkapoor) on Apr 29, 2020 at 10:43pm PDT × The actor died after a prolonged battle of cancer. He had even taken a medical break in September last year and shifted base to US to undergo treatment. Rishi Kapoor's last tweet was an 'appeal' and it makes us teary-eyed
