Different styles, but both relatable: Rishi Kapoor wasn't the next-door boy like Irrfan, he belonged to the foremost famous Hindi film family, the Kapoors, while Irrfan had a humble beginning; actually , both rose to the highest of success doing differing types of roles and with different styles; however, both connected with the masses instantly.

Both had still something to offer: At 53 Irrfan's potential for more and more realistic and high cinema was ruthlessly curtail while at 67 Rishi was steadily graduating to serious character roles with admirable ease and skill, and his tragic demise can still be called premature.

news: coronavirus:
Two of the foremost important celebrity deaths in India in two days; this is often often as unprecedented as perhaps the times we are browsing. Before the boxed-up and suffocated film fraternity and thus the larger film lovers had time to urge over one the other cruel blow was applied immediately. is that the impact of the COVID times? Well, we should always always not try going deeper into it, because these two off-screen tearjerkers would further accentuate the anguish and helplessness of the Indian people, haunted by the killer virus and thus the lockdown.

Rishi was immediately accepted by the masses as a shocking and handsome young hero in spite of his boyish looks, and since 1974 he never looked back, performing in numerous commercial ventures and giving regular hits.

Popularly mentioned as 'Chintu', Rish Kapoor had an immense impact on us as school children from the primary seventies. Our craze for him increased further because of a rather funny reason: our parents didn't allow us to watch 'Mera Naam Joker' and 'Bobby' as both of the films allegedly had some 'adult' scenes, and our hunger was only abetted when mother decided to narrate the stories to us in dramatic fashion! actually , in later years we began watching his movies within the cinema houses and commenced loving him for his looks, for his smiles, and for his comedy or romanticism or heroism. Like his uncle Shashi Kapoor, Rishi also seemed to have a positive aura or vibes in his looks and personality that made him likable to us instantly.

The film industry and thus the film lovers believed, as per the news in circulation that Rishi Kapoor was getting well and better, after his prolonged medical treatment within the US. But sadly, that came to be untrue. 

He was hospitalized because of some complications and departed as if on a mission. His family stood behind him all the time and released a press brief that Rishi Kapoor has always been a jolly and positive person never allowing situations to urge the upper of him, and didn't even allow cancer to disturb him-living his life cheerfully, for his family, fans, and friends. Therefore, the family appealed to all or any or any to receive the news with a smile and not with tears as Rishi would really like it that way. 

news: coronavirus: 

Yes, we glance at him smiling, remembering all the decades of his endearing performances and knowing it alright that he's bound to influence our hearts forever; incredible it sounds, we only said this the previous day for Irrfan. Rishi Kapoor leaves behind his wife actor Neetu Singh, and mega-star son Ranbir Kapoor-one of the simplest actors within the younger generation. We pray for the eternal bliss and happiness of the lovable super-star and a superb person.
