| | Rishi Kapoor, who died on April 30 in Mumbai after a prolonged battled with leukemia, had an illustrious Bollywood career that spawned over 150 films. He was 67 and is survived by his wife, Neetu Kapoor, son Ranbir and daughter Riddhima. His first screen appearance was as a child actor in Shree 420, a film directed and produced by his father Raj Kapoor. Kapoor appeared in the iconic song, Pyaar Hua Ikraar Hua as one of the three children walking in the rain. He also played the role of a young Raj Kapoor in Mera Naam Joker in 1970, three years before his official debut.
Kapoor’s public persona and early career would come to be defined by his romantic films such as his super hit debut Bobby, Rafoo Chakkar (a Some Like It Hot ripoff), Sargam, Sagar, Karz, Prem Rog, and Chandni; but he also acted in comedies such as Amar Akbar Anthony and social dramas like Damini. He steered clear of action films, a genre deemed unsuitable for his cherubic visage. |
