Rishi Kapoor: I will miss my Chandni for all the lovely cinematic moments she gave me

Rishi Kapoor and Sridevi’s on screen chemistry in Yash Chopra’s Chandni garnered immense adulation during the 80’s. The film became the highest grosser and is still revered as one of the best performances of Sridevi.

Talking about the shooting of Chandni, Rishi added, "When we started working in Chandni, she had become more conversant and confident with her Hindi and English."
