It is hard to believe that yesterday Irrfan Khan passed away and today, we have lost veteran actor Rishi Kapoor. The Karz actor took his last breath this morning at H.N. Reliance Hospital in Mumbai.
A lot of Bollywood actors took to their social media to mourn Rishi Kapoor’s demise, and in most of their posts, we can read that they can’t believe that the actor is no more.
Akshay Kumar tweeted, “It seems like we’re in the midst of a nightmare…just heard the depressing news of #RishiKapoor ji passing away, it’s heartbreaking. He was a legend, a great co-star and a good friend of the family. My thoughts and prayers with his family 🙏🏻”
