Rishi Kapoor left for heavenly abode last year on April 30 after his two year battle with leukemia. In the year 2018, the legendary actor who won hearts with his stellar acting skill was diagnosed with cancer and had to be flown down to the United States for his treatment.

In September 2019, he returned from New York after his treatment and despite giving a tough fight to his cancer, he passed away at the age of 67.

Today marks his first anniversary and remembering his late younger brother, actor Randhir Kapoor, has given a special interview where he spoke about his childhood and acting days. Rishi was fondly called Chintu by his family and friends.

In his conversation with E-Times, remembering both his late brothers, Rishi (Chintu) and Rajiv (Chimpoo) who too recently passed away on February 9, 2021, Randhir shared,

The last year has been a very sad time in my life. Sad is really a modest word here; worst would be apt. In a matter of 10 months, I lost both my darling brothers- Chintu (Rishi Kapoor) and Chimpu (Rajiv Kapoor).Also, I lost my mother (Krishna Kapoor) and sister (Ritu Nanda) in the last two-and-a-half years. We, my three brothers and two sisters, were extremely close to each other. Chintu, Chimpoo, and I interacted with each other every day.Chimpoo lived with me and Chintu either came to the office on the days that he wasn’t shooting or spoke to me on the phone. We didn’t need anybody when we three were together. We were a very happy circus by ourselves. We were a robust crowd!All that is over. There’s not a single day that I don’t think about them. One year may have passed but there’s not a single day that I don’t think about them. Life will never be the same again.

Recalling their childhood days, Randhir shared their old memories and spoke about their cute fights, he shared,

All children fight over the window seat. I wish life rolls back and we get those days again. As for my equation with Chimpoo, he was just like my son; he was 15 years younger than me. He had a house in Pune but most of the time, he was in Mumbai. I just wish them well. I hope they are happy wherever they are and in whichever form.

Meanwhile, Randhir Kapoor has been tested positive for COVID-19 on Thursday and has been hospitalised for better treatment. The 74-year-old actor is being treated at Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai. Dr Santosh Shetty, who has been treating the 74-year-old actor, told news agency PTI that Randhir Kapoor’s condition is “stable” and that there’s nothing to worry.
