If I were to describe the Kapoor family in one sentence, I would say they are all heart. Rishi Kapoor was, by far, one of the greatest actors and one of the most amazing human beings I have known, the more I think about it through time, the more things I realise things about him that were not obvious to me during the times we were filming together and the years after that, when we were in touch and met occasionally due to the fact that we lived in different countries.
I was tremendously in awe of Rishi from the moment I met him. This was because the first few Indian films I saw were Rishi Kapoor-starrers: 'Kabhi Kabhie', 'Bobby' and 'Karz'. The impact and impressions left by such epic films early in life outline your future ideals. When I came to Bombay (as it was called then) for the first time in the fall of 1989 for the screen test of 'Henna' and met Rishi for the first time on the evening of my arrival at RK studios, it was a surreal experience that is clearly etched in my memory.
