FAREWELL RISHI KAPOOR

DEVESH SHARMA OFFERS HIS RESPECTS TO THE LATE RISHI KAPOOR, WHO PASSED AWAY RECENTLY (SEPTEMBER 4, 1952 - APRIL 30, 2020)

Rishi Kapoor belonged to the illustrious Kapoor lineage. His grandfather, Prithviraj Kapoor, is counted as one of the pillars of Indian cinema. The stature of his father, Raj Kapoor, is no less exalted. His uncles, actors Shashi Kapoor and Shammi Kapoor too are considered icons in the film industry.
