Chintuji – bebaak, garamjosh aur zindadil. We grew up with his cinema and I was privileged that we worked on many films together – Hum Tum , Fanaa Delhi 6 . Will miss his warm hugs. Rest in Peace @chintskap
It seems like we’re in the midst of a nightmare…just heard the depressing news of #RishiKapoor ji passing away, it’s heartbreaking. He was a legend, a great co-star and a good friend of the family. My thoughts and prayers with his family 🙏🏻
