Veteran actress Neetu Kapoor on Wednesday paid tribute to her late husband and co-star in numerous films, Rishi Kapoor, on his 72nd birth anniversary. Rishi, star of several Bollywood films including Bobby, Karz, Agneepath, Kapoor and Sons, and Mulk, was born on September 4, 1952. He was the middle child among iconic filmmaker Raj Kapoor and Krishna Kapoor's five children. He died at the age of 67 on April 30, 2020, after a two-year battle with cancer.
Neetu Kapoor wished her late husband, who worked with her on Rafoo Chakkar, Amar Akbar Anthony, and Do Dooni Chaar, on his birth anniversary in an Instagram post. "In remembrance. Would have been 72 today," she captioned an old unseen picture of Rishi Kapoor blowing out candles on his birthday cake.
