A day after Irrfan Khan breathed his last breath in Mumbai, now Rishi Kapoor also passed away on April 30. The veteran was admitted to the Sir HN Reliance Foundation Hospital in Mumbai on Wednesday owing to health concerns.

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 ??

The news was confirmed by Amitabh Bachchan on Twitter. “He’s GONE .. ! Rishi Kapoor .. gone .. just passed away .. I am destroyed !” wrote Amitabh.

Rishi Kapoor had cancer and was away from the country for a long time for treatment only to return to India in September 2019.

His health hasn’t been the best since his return to India. The actor was admitted to the hospital in quick succession in February. Amid speculations about his health, he had been hospitalised in New Delhi in early February.

This is a terrible week for Indian cinema, with the passing of another legend, actor Rishi Kapoor. A wonderful actor, with a huge fan following across generations, he will be greatly missed. My condolences to his family, friends & fans all over the world, at this time of grief.

"There's no actor in the world who has a hundred percent record. You learn by experiences. You'll fall, you'll get up, you'll understand that this is what not to do, and this is what is to be done." #RishiKapoor told us in 2018. https://t.co/NWDPB1mBzp
