    Rishi Kapoor
    He was born into Bollywood’s first acting family — The Kapoors — and was surrounded by a family of acting icons. He made his acting debut as a child actor in the seminal movie ‘Mera Naam Joker’ (1970), directed by and starring his father Raj Kapoor in the lead role, for which he also received an Indian National Award.

    Rishi Kapoor
    His autobiography ‘Khullam Khulla: Rishi Kapoor Uncensored’, released in 2017, was aptly titled. He openly spoke about his heroines and scandals during his acting career. The memoir was a no-holds-barred account of his rich life. Image Credit: Supplied

    Over the years, his Twitter account was ablaze with funny and politically-incorrect anecdotes. It was clear that he handled his own social media tweets and did not rely on managers to ghost-tweet for him. He enjoyed that platform so much that he was the kind of social media user who used to call out airlines and hotels if they weren’t up to the mark. Image Credit: Supplied

    Rishi was diagnosed with cancer in 2018 and went to New York City for treatment. After a treatment that lasted more than a year, the actor returned to India and was to star with Deepika Padukone in the Bollywood remake of ‘The Intern’. Image Credit: Instagram/neetu54
