Rishi Kapoor

An Inspiration for this Generation

28 WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | MAY 2020

Rishi Kapoor is an Indian actor known for his work in Hindi-language cinema.
Rishi Kapoor was born in Chembur, Bombay, to a Hindu-Punjabi family.
Belonging to the Kapoor Bollywood dynasty, he was the second son of

legendary actor-director Raj Kapoor and Krishna Raj Kapoor. Likewise, his family
encompasses a successful line of actors, including brothers, Randhir and Rajiv
Kapoor; grandfather Prithviraj Kapoor; maternal uncles Prem, Rajendra, and

Narendra Nath, as well as Prem Chopra; and paternal uncles Shashi and Shammi
Kapoor. Rishi Kapoor's two sisters, on the other hand, include Ritu Nanda, an
insurance agent, and Rima Jain.

WWW.CINESPRINT.COM | MAY 2020 29

pecial StOry

He had his debut role, as a child, in his father Raj
Kapoor's 1970 film Mera Naam Joker, for which he
would receive the National Film Award for Best Child
Artist. As an adult, his first lead role was opposite
Dimple Kapadia in the teen romance Bobby which
won him the Filmfare Award for Best Actor. Due to
an illustrious, decade-spanning career, he would
go on to be honoured with the Filmfare Lifetime
Achievement Award in 2008.

Kapoor often collaborated with his wife, actress
Neetu Singh, with whom he had two children,
including Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor. Between
1973 and 2000, Kapoor starred as the romantic
lead in 92 films, some of the most notable of which
include: Khel Khel Mein, Kabhi Kabhie, Amar Akbar
Anthony, Karz and Chandni. Since the 2000s, he
has played character roles to critical acclaim in such
films as Love Aaj Kal, Agneepath, and Mulk. For his
performance in Do Dooni Chaar, he won the Filmfare
Critics Award for Best Actor, and for his role in
Kapoor & Sons, he won the Filmfare Award for Best
Supporting Actor.

Kapoor's autobiography Khullam Khulla: Rishi
Kapoor Uncensored, was released on 15 January
2017. Kapoor wrote the book along with Meena Iyer,
and the title was published under Harper Collins.
Rishi Kapoor's final film appearance was in The Body
(2019).

Kapoor was diagnosed with leukemia in 2018 and
went to New York City for treatment. After successful
treatment for over a year, Kapoor returned to India
on 26 September 2019. Kapoor was admitted to
Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital in Mumbai
on 29 April 2020 after he had breathing difficulty.
He died on 30 April 2020 from leukemia. His last
rites were held on the same day in the presence of
limited family members because of the lockdown
restrictions.
