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 clearl

Pakistani actress Zeba Bakhtiar shared some cherished memories of working with late actor Rajiv Kapoor ,who passed away due to a heart attack this week.
Speaking on
Henna with him. I’m absolutely devastated to hear this sudden, very tragic news, I just don’t know what to say. I’m in touch with Daboo (Randhir), who has been through so much these past few years, losing his dear mother and siblings. Recently I was not in touch with (Rajiv) Chimpu directly but asked about him and Daboo always said that he was fine, she said.

Rajiv Kapoor might have never had the success his other two siblings had, but no one could ever point a finger at his acting abilities. With films like Ram Teri Ganga Maili and Aasmaan showcasing his true potential as an actor. it was the lack of good opportunities and hard-hitting roles that never allowed Rajiv Kapoor to achieve the stardom he deserved. And he knew that well. Here s what the late actor once said about his own acting and career.
In an interview with Cinestaan, Rajiv Kapoor had said, As far as my career is concerned, Ram Teri Ganga Maili is the best film I did. The other films didn t do well, but not all were bad. The sad part was that everybody wanted to project me like Shammi Kapoor, because I looked like him. To summarise in simple language – hit is fit. If your movies did well things would be on a different tangent. I did some nice films which had good music, but not many did well.
